Page Layout ⇒ Footnote in figure caption

[Johannes_B]

My example above should produce the word table, you can verify by clicking on »Open in writelatex« (which is now known as Overleaf).

You can change the size of the tablefootnotes by using any font switch you find in introductory books. In the example below i used Large and made it red, just to emphasize what changes.

Computational models are mathematical models of systems such as
are found in biology, physics, weather systems etc. Such models
can be used to predict the behaviour of these systems in an
effort to develop interventions which help to control our
environment. By predicting weather systems we can safeguard
ourselves against extreme weather conditions or plan our crops to
avoid failures. In physics, models serve the purpose of
discovering the origins of the universe and predicting what the
future might hold for us. In biology, computational models serve
to provide a better understanding of the way our bodies work as
part of our effort to fight disease and prolong
life\footnote{stuff}.

Concerning the other boxed stuff. Can you make a minimal working example, so i can see what is going on? The code defines new floating environments for programs and directory listings. Do you need this stuff, or is it rubbish from an old template?

[jannetta]

I followed the instruction of Johannes_B to get footnotes below an image and to change the resultant "Table" in the caption to "Figure". However, I just noticed that the rewnewcommand also resets the counter. So in stead of Figure 3.4, the figure became Figure 3.1 again. How can I correct this?

[Johannes_B]

Hi Jannetta,

as far as i can see, there is no renewcommand in my last example, and there is no need at all to redefine anything. Can you show a minimal example of what is going on in your code?

[jannetta]

Actually, I see the renewcommand was a comment by ghuczek. When I used the threeparttable that you suggested, (Johannes_B) the figure was considered a table by LaTeX and I wanted it to be a figure. The suggestion to use the renewcommand worked but then I noticed that it also reset the figure counter back to to in stead of continuing on from the previous figure.

The code is below:

What do you see exactly copying my example? It should be the same as when clicking on Open in WriteLaTeX.

[jannetta]

He is my MWE. I get "Table" in the caption, not "Figure", like in yours. I guess some other package must be messing it up but I have no idea how to find it.

It is the caption-package that somehow detects the tabular. My solution is more of a dirty hack than a clean workaround. But here we go, i made some further comments in the code.

EDIT: Threeparttable is a quirky little package.

[jannetta]

I think it is working now. I commented out as in your example and then had to put a few things back such as acro and listings, some defined colours etc. It still wouldn't work but then I commented out the line "\usepackage[skip=2pt,font=scriptsize]{caption}". Now it seems to work. I'll have to check properly later on, but now I have to get to bed

Many thanks for your help.

Simple resolution is here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions ... -math-mode

David Carlisle solution is brilliantly simple: the key is a footnote counter.
I have two footnotemarks in one caption to the figure. Unfortunately one is within extra math mode $$, but that's okay.
Caution: This can't be the first counter marker! See code...

CODE:
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{eqnarray} % I have here figure &
foo && foo \footnotemark\\
foo && foo \footnotemark
\end{eqnarray}

\addtocounter{footnote}{-1}
\footnotetext{something}
\stepcounter{footnote}
\footnotetext{something else}

\end{document}

In Preamble i have

Welcome to the LaTeX community.

Please note that you are referring to lockstep's answer. And as egreg noted in his answer, eqnarray is obsolete for years.
