General ⇒ figref: undefined control sequence

[Monkey D]

I don't know what's the problem. I have other documents where I use \figref and they work fine (I'm assuming figref is a standard command).

I'm using kile (KDE latex editor) and this is the output I get:
Undefined control sequence. ...some text \figref

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
....
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{fontenc}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\usepackage[dvips,pdftex]{hyperref}

Code: Select all

\figref{fig:scene_structure}

\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.27]{../presentation/figures/scene.png}
\caption{Scene Structure.%
\label{fig:scene_structure}}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Thanks!

Your assumption is wrong. Probably the other sources contain a declaration of the \figref command in the preamble. You now have two possible solutions.

• Use the standard \ref command to reference your figures
• Declare a new command in the preamble

  Code: Select all

  \newcommand{\figref}[1]{\figurename~\ref{#1}}

The new command only needs the label of the figure to be referenced and has "Figure 1" as output in dependence of what the command \figurename stands for. Similar commands could be declared for tables and chapters.
