Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Move Subfigures Captions into the Main Caption Automatically

[adin]

Hi all,

I'm wondering whether it is possible to automatically move the captions from the subfigures to the main caption.
In the example below, I would like to have in the main caption, something like, "Main Caption. (a) Subfigure 1. (b) Subfigure 2.", instead of having each caption individually, and in each subfigure that only appears the identifier "(a)" or "(b)".

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{subfig}

\begin{document}

  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \centering
    \subfloat[Subfigure 1]{
      \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    }
    \subfloat[Subfigure 2]{
      \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    }
    \caption{Main Caption}
    \label{fig:dummy}
  \end{figure}

\end{document}

Thanks,

adin

Hi,

I know that you said "automatically", but I'm afraid that you'll have to do it manually:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{subfig}

\begin{document}

  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \centering
    \subfloat[]{
      \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    }
    \subfloat[]{
      \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    }
    \caption{Main Caption. (a) Subfigure 1. (b) Subfigure 2.}
    \label{fig:dummy}
  \end{figure}

\end{document}

That's what I was afraid of. Any way, thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for that, actually I didn't mark it because I was waiting for others to came up with another solution. However, if that is the case I would do it next time, even if the answer is not entirely satisfactory.
