Document Classes ⇒ Figure numbering with memoir

[suatlatex]

I'm using the memoir class write my thesis, and I want to number the floats in #chapter.#section.#equation format.

I have included the following codes in the \frontmatter.

Code: Select all

\numberwithin{equation}{section}
\numberwithin{figure}{section}

The number of an equation is shown as 1.2.3. This is exactly what I want. However, it doesn't work for figures (or tables). The number of a figure is still shown as #chapter.#figure, e.g., Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, although the counter of figures is reset for a section.

This is a short code demonstrating this problem. It shows "Figure 1.1: Figure One" in Section 1.1 and "Figure 1.1: Figure Two" in Section 1.2.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{memoir}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsthm}

\numberwithin{figure}{section}

\begin{document}

\mainmatter

\chapter{Chapter One}
\section{Section One}
\begin{figure}[h]
Figure One
\caption{Figure One}
\end{figure}

\section{Section Two}
\begin{figure}[h]
Figure Two
\caption{Figure Two}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

I've also tried to redefine \thefigure variable. It doesn't help either.

Code: Select all

renewcommand{\thefigure}{\chapter.\section.\arabic{figure}}

Hi,

add the following lines to the preamble of your document:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@memmain@floats{%
  \counterwithin{figure}{section}
  \counterwithin{table}{section}}
\makeatother
