Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figure labelling 2, 8, 8 10 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4

[loopylouise]

Hello everyone

It's probably a simple fix but I can't spot it. So here's the deal.

I have 7 images in my document, all labelled and happy as below.

Code: Select all

\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0.5\textwidth}
  \begin{center}
  $\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{"./Pictures/Maxwell Boltzmann"}$
  \end{center}
  \caption{A graph to show the Maxwell Boltzmann distributions of three temperatures. $T_{red}<T_{green}<T_{blue}$}
\end{wrapfigure}
\label{fig:maxboltz}

(Please let me know if this is unacceptable scruffy code) This figure is the first in the document and appears with a caption labelling it Figure 1 (good so far) but when I come to reference the figure.

Code: Select all

Figure \ref{fig:maxboltz} shows a typical graphical representation of the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution of speeds.

I get an output of the image below. The next figure reference (for figure 2 in the caption) prints out figure 8 when referenced. When figure 3 is referenced, it also gets an 8. Am I missing something important here?

Thanks for any help you can give!

PS: I was going to put the preamble up here in spoiler tags so as to not make the post too long and boring but this forum doesn't seem to like then. So Preamble on request :S

Oh, yes. Indeed it is. Just answer yourself the question why you include the external image in math mode. And it goes without saying that the \label command goes into the wrapfigure environment.

Code: Select all

\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0.5\textwidth}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{"./Pictures/Maxwell Boltzmann"}
  \caption{A graph to show the Maxwell Boltzmann distributions of three temperatures. $T_{red}<T_{green}<T_{blue}$}
  \label{fig:maxboltz}
\end{wrapfigure}

Thanks for the tips!
