Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Running out of Labels for Sub-floats

[Niels]

Dear all,

Thank you for taking time to read my first post ever on this forum!

I'm using LaTeX for my thesis and it's my first experience with it. So far I'm very happy with it, but today I encountered a problem. I'm inserting figures that are made of 4 subfigures each. The subfigures are labeled a, b, c, ... x, y and z. But since the alphabet has only 26 characters and I want to implement more than 8 figures each consisting of 4 subfigures, LaTeX gives an error when I try to insert the 9th figure because it has arrived at the end of the alphabet when labeling the subplots. Is there any way to extend the numbering of the subplots? You can find the code that I'm using to do it as well as the preamble below.

Thanks in advance,
Niels

The problem can easily be solved by simply inserting \setcounter{subtable}{0}. This makes the caption label for the subplots of each figure start with a.

Hopefully it's handy for someone else.

Kind regards,
Niels

The problem can easily be solved by simply inserting \setcounter{subtable}{0}. This makes the caption label for the subplots of each figure start with a.

The subplots of each figure should start with "a" automatically, there is no need to reset the sub-figure counter manually. So it seems you are doing something wrong.

BTW:

Code: Select all

\captionsetup{margin=1ex, font={small, sf}, labelfont={bf, sf}, labelsep= endash}}

=> There is an additional closing brace which results in error "! Too many }'s."

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
  \subfloat[...]{...}

=> This results in error "! LaTeX Error: \subfloat outside float."

So your code snippets are inappropriate to describe and examine your problem.
