LyX ⇒ Picture numbering

[Gumbare]

Hi
In my LyX document I have several chapters of book.
I need to insert several dozens of pictures.
But LyX keeps changing numbering in each chapter separately using long style of numbering - for example Picture 1.1.1, Picture 2.1.1
I have tried to disable chaptering in Preamble but it still is 1.2; 1.3; 2.1; etc.

I'd like to get Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3, etc. in whole document

How to achieve that?

Hi Gumbare,

you could use the chngcntr package to make the numbering independent:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}

Thanks Stefan,
It works
Still I cannot get used to the idea that LyX shows something different in editor and gives different output, but it is all about - WYSIWYM - isn't it?

thanks

Yes, somehow it is...
Btw. LyX 2.0 has been released now.

It works

Nice to read! It would be great if you mark the question as solved then. Just edit your first post in this thread (the question) and choose the checkmark symbol as topic icon.

Thanks!

Stefan
