Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figure Label

[zhiwanxu]

Hi,

I used [all]{hypcap} package, and \caption for my figure title. My figures will be listed as Figure 1, Figure 2..etc.
How do I change the figure counter to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 ..etc.

Thanks for your help.

Use the caption package.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[%
  figurename={Fig.},
  tablename={Tab.}
]{caption}

Is there any similar option in {all}\hypcap as

Code: Select all

\usepackage[%
figurename={Fig.}
]{caption}

if I don't want to use caption package for getting better anchor position

What sober reasons are there against the caption package? It should work properly with hyperref and hypcap since it explicitly supports both.

I use the following package (datacomp.sty) to run the file. I also used the \caption option you suggested. It gave me the error message:

! Package caption Error: figurename undefined.

See the caption package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...

l.122 \ProcessOptionsWithKV{caption}

any idea how to solve?

Thanks.

Update your TeX distribution, but at least the caption package. Get used to keeping packages up to date in general.

And next time when posting code please use the »Code« environment. You can find the according button right above the input window while composing a message. This just keeps your posts clear and legible.

And by the way, the times package is obsolete [1]. Choose an alternative that is up to date.

! Package caption Error: figurename undefined.

What version of the caption package are you using? It needs at least a version 3.1 from 2007/07/04 (or newer) for using the "figurename" option.

Thanks a lot!
