Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to remove \numberwithn?

[zwierz]

Hi,

I have a appendix in my document which contains figures and I wanted them to be numbered like: Fig. A.1, Fig. A.2 etc., where A is from appendix. To achieve that I used:

\appendix
\numberwithin{figure}{section}
\section{Appendix}

but after appendix I have other sections with figures inside and I don't want them to be numbered with section number like: Fig. 1.1, Fig. 1.2 etc. but just Fig 1, Fig. 2. My question is how can I unbind figure and section counters? I'll appreciate any help.

A minimal working example should always be given. Otherwise, I don't see the problem. The \numberwithin command shouldn't take effect until the appendix -- and at least in the article class, prior to that, you'd just get "Figure 1" and "Figure 2" by default.

However, there are plenty of options. One option would be to load the chngcntr package which defines a pair of commands

Code: Select all

\counterwithin{figure}{section}

and

Code: Select all

\counterwithout{figure}{section}

(which work just like \numberwithin from amsmath) -- with these you could turn it on and off at will.

Finally you could use

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{figure}}

to just get "Figure 1" wherever you needed to.

Thank U \renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{figure}} works fine for me. And sorry for the lack of MWE - I just thought that description would be enough in this case.
