Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Cross references, using cref

[RensR]

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my cross references. I use the cleveref package. When I put in a figure, give it a caption and label and then use the reference, it won't say figure, but will say section instead. Also, it doesn't refer to the figure, but to the section it is in.
This is (essentially) my code:

Code: Select all

\section{XRD}\label{sec:meth XRD}
text, not important.

\section{XRR}\label{sec:meth XRR}

Bunch of text, explaining stuff about XRR. Let us see that in \cref{fig:XRR Reflection}.

\begin{figure}[h!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{Reflection.pdf}
\caption{Reflection and refraction.}
\end{center}
\label{fig:XRR Reflection}
\end{figure}

This produces a cross reference, which says "Let us see that in section 1.2." Instead it should say figure 1 (or 1.1 (chapter,number of figure) or 1.2.1 (chapter,section,#of figure) of course. Also, how to make that set up of figure numbering, I would like the 1.2.1 there (or will that work automatically?)

Hi there,

I have a problem with my cross references. I use the cleveref package. When I put in a figure, give it a caption and label and then use the reference, it won't say figure, but will say section instead. Also, it doesn't refer to the figure, but to the section it is in.
This is (essentially) my code:

Code: Select all

\section{XRD}\label{sec:meth XRD}
text, not important.

\section{XRR}\label{sec:meth XRR}

Bunch of text, explaining stuff about XRR. Let us see that in \cref{fig:XRR Reflection}.

\begin{figure}[h!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{Reflection.pdf}
\caption{Reflection and refraction.}
\end{center}
\label{fig:XRR Reflection}
\end{figure}

your problem may be, that you're using the \caption command inside a center environment, but the according \label command after it. In that case, a simple moving of the \label command before \end{center} might do.
On the other hand, the figure and center environments both add vertical space---I'd replace the center environment here with a \centering command instead.

Because of the missing minimal working example, I didn't test it, though.

Thanks for the effort, but that did not solve it sadly.
Let me explain some more. I am working with subfiles, so I have a main file Report.tex:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{Huge list of packages}
\usepackage{cleveref}
\crefname{equation}{equation}{equations}
\crefname{figure}{figure}{figures}
\crefname{section}{section}{sections}

\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}
here i define my preferences for my titlepage
\\
\end{titlepage}

\begin{abstract}
where the abstract will go
\end{abstract}

\tableofcontents

\subfile{Theory/Theory.tex
\subfile{Methodology/Methodology.tex}
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{References/Bibliography.bib}

\appendix
\subfile{Appendix/AppendixA.tex}
\end{document}

And then I have multiple subfiles in the according folders, which works fine. Then in each of the folders I have:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[../Report.tex]{subfiles}
\graphicspath{{Methodology/}}
\begin{document}

\chapter{Methodology}\label{chap:Methodology}

\section{Pulsed Laser Deposition}\label{sec:meth PLD}

\section{X-Ray Diffraction}\label{sec:meth XRD}

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:XRD Bragg}
n\lambda=2d\sin(\theta)
\end{equation}
\cref{eq:XRD Bragg}

\section{X-Ray Reflectivity}\label{sec:meth XRR}

Bunch of text, as can be seen in \cref{fig:XRR Reflection}.

\begin{figure}[h!]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{Reflection.pdf}\label{fig:XRR Reflection}
\label{fig:XRR Reflection}
\caption{Reflection and refraction of X-rays on material surface.}

\end{figure}

\end{document} 

In which the figure works, the equation works, the caption at the figure works, the reference to the equation says "equation (2.1)",, so that all works fine. The reference to the figure however, says "section 2.3" (this is if I run Report.tex, if I run Methodology.tex, it will give 1.something of course). I hope this makes it clearer and someone might me able to help.

For some, not apparent to me, reason, it suddenly decided to start working. I can't figure out why it wasn't working before, but it is now.
Apparently, compiling a few times worked. I now have the figure environment like below, which works fine.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h!]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{Reflection.pdf}
  \caption{Reflection and refraction of X-rays on material surface.}\label{fig:XRR Reflection}
\end{figure}

The \label command should be placed after the \caption command. Otherwise the \ref command returns wrong number.
