Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figures' numbers are not continuous

[ngvanduysn]

Dear all,
Figures in my *.dvi file are numberred as 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 ... Where did 4 and 6 go?
(ie., Figures shown in dvi file are Fig. 1 -> Fig. 3, then Fig. 5, Fig. 7 without Fig. 4 and Fig. 6)
Please teach me more.
Thanks alot.

Hi,

welcome to the board!
What is your code for producing the figures? Perhaps you use several captions in a figure environment or change the counter in another way - we probably can tell you that if we could see your code. Usually the best way to fix a problem together is starting with a minimal working example.

Thank you very much Mr. Stefan,
Yes I have used many captions, I have tried to merge many small figures into one although it takes long time (combine many small plots from EPS files in a Latex file->convert dvi to pdf->snap shot to resize by AdobeReader->save with the type(convert to) EPS again, ...) .
Again, thanks so much for your reply.

So the problem with the numbering is solved?

I would not go this way via several conversions. I would convert the eps files to pdf once, and include only pdf files, with pdfLaTeX. There's the package epstopdf which can do this automatically.
