General ⇒ setting figure number

[jayeeta]

Hi,
I want to put in some figures. did so using \includegraphics. but for captions if I use \caption it automatically takes the figure numbers to be 1, 2, 3 ... while I want them to appear as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,...How do I forcefully do it ? I removed the \caption command and just typed in by hand 1.1: this is a caption. but then i cannot change the width of the text-line of the caption.
Any help?

You can customize your captions in many ways with the caption package. This is an example like I do that in my documents.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}
\captionsetup{figurewithin=section,tablewithin=section}

I'm not sure but I guess that you need version 3.0 or higher. The current version 3.1 is available on CTAN or via remote repository on a MiKTeX system. The documentation of the package gives you more information about customizing your captions.
