Text Formatting ⇒ float creation and numbering

[gwada74]

Hi,
I created in my document a new float called "Image" by using float.sty. I would like to change the counter of "Image" from arabic to roman. Apparently the counter \theImage is not created when I create "Image".

How to create such a counter ?

Hmm. The following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{float}
\newfloat{Image}{htb}{ige}
\renewcommand{\theImage}{\roman{Image}}
\begin{document}
\begin{Image}
\rule{2in}{2in}
\caption{Something}
\end{Image}
\end{document}

worked just fine for me.

If something similar doesn't work for you, could you post a minimal working example showing the misbehavior?

That's not true:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{float}
\newfloat{Image}{tbp}{loi}
\show\theImage
\begin{document}
\end{document}

gives the log output

Code: Select all

> \theImage=macro:
->\arabic {Image}.
