Graphics, Figures & Tables

Hello,

Right now my figures are numbered per chapter, like Figure 1.1, Figure 2.3, etc..
But i want to have my figures numbered per section or subsection or even subsubsections like Figure 2.3.1.1

Any idea how i can achieve this?

Thanks!

Hi,

welcome to the board!

You could use the chngcntr package for this, for example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithin{figure}{subsection}
\begin{document}
\chapter{One}
\section{Section One}
\subsection{Subsection One}
\begin{figure}[ht]
  \centering
  \caption{Test figure}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Have a look at the

chngcntr documentation for details of usage.

Stefan
