Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Why caption is not numbered?

[paulosousa]

Hello all,

I am making a beamer presentation, I have a problem with the caption of a table and for the figures: they are not numbered... why?
Could anyone please help me?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, compress]{beamer}
\usepackage{beamerthemeshadow}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage[round]{natbib}
\newcommand{\newblock}{}
\usepackage[font=scriptsize]{caption}

\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usecolortheme[named=purple]{structure}

\begin{document}
\setbeamerfont{frametitle}{size=\small, labelfont=bf} 
\setbeamertemplate{caption}[numbered]

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Introduction}
\begin{table}[h]
\captionof{table}{TABLE NAME}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline 
A & B \\ 
\hline 
C & D \\ 
\hline 
\end{tabular} 
\end{center}
\end{table}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Electrophysiology of the heart}
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.250]{img/img2b.png} 
\caption{... \\ Reproduced from \citep{malmivuo1995bioelectromagnetism}}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}

\end{document}

Besides a few errors all captions are there. I think you should know how important a proper minimal working example is by now.

Have a look at your code, i made some adjustments.

\documentclass[12pt, compress]{beamer}
\usepackage{beamerthemeshadow}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage[round]{natbib}
%\newcommand{\newblock}{}%JB: Already defined
\usepackage[font=scriptsize]{caption}

\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usecolortheme[named=purple]{structure}

\begin{document}
\setbeamerfont{frametitle}{size=\small,
%labelfont=bf%JB: Undefinded
}
\setbeamertemplate{caption}[numbered]

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{Introduction}
	\begin{table}[h]%Why the placement specifier?
		\captionof{table}{TABLE NAME}
%		\begin{center}%JB: use
		\centering
		%instead
			\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
				\hline
				A & B \\
				\hline
				C & D \\
				\hline
			\end{tabular}
%		\end{center}
	\end{table}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{Electrophysiology of the heart}
	\begin{figure}[h]%Why the placement specifier?
%		\begin{center}%JB: use
		\centering
		%instead
		\includegraphics[width=.7\textwidth]{example-image}
		\caption{... }

			%JB the other one gave me an error

\end{frame}

\end{document}

Why do you need captions in a presentation? You don't need to refer to them, you can oint on them and tell what's going on in the picture.

Running exactly your code I got no numbered table even picture, please see the uploaded attachment ... (sorry for the picture size!) I am missing something?

Running exactly my code i get the same result as i have when clicking on »open in wirtelatex« just above my code. Please do so as well and try to figure out any any differences. I really need to hear back from you, cause either you had a really bad day, or i did.

[paulosousa]

Johannes, sorry but don't understand what do you mean.
I am using TeXmaker...

[Johannes_B]

Take your time ...

You said you ran my code exactely, which i did not (and still don't) believe you. Please click on »Open in writelatex« just above the code box in one of my previous posts to really run the code i gave you. Apart from the captions, there is one big difference.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

The editor is not relevant. Perhaps you have an older version of the beamer package, if your version does not what Johannes' version and writeLaTeX does. In that case you could update, possibly your whole TeX installation so all would be up to date.

I will update but if I remove

Code: Select all

\usepackage[font=scriptsize]{caption}

then the numbered comes back!

[Stefan Kottwitz]

So it's a compatibility issue with caption and beamer. I remember it from some time ago, beamer had its own caption features and it did not work together. The authors should have fixed it.

So you can work without caption, or update to use both later together. I think it's solved now?

Stefan, I am downloading MacTeX.pkg to update it ...
