General ⇒ References to Sub-figures

[pallav]

I have used \subfigure for including four figures and each figures are labelled accordingly. In the output, figures are assigned by (a) (b) (c) (d).

In order to describe meaning of the figures, I want to cite the figures using the \ref{} command. I want to cite two figures at a time like this.

Fig. 2(a-c) depict ...

\ref{1st_label, 3rd_label} does not work. What to do?

Get used to giving adequate problem descriptions. Nobody likes guesswork and random shots. Its essential to know exactly what you are doing.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{float, graphicx,subfigure,psfrag}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\subfigure[]{
    \includegraphics[height=2in,width=2in]{original_hyp_par_1}
    \label{fig:subfig1_RD_origin}
}
\subfigure[]{
    \includegraphics[height=2in,width=2in]{original_par_ell_2}
    \label{fig:subfig2_RD_origin}
}
\subfigure[]{
    \includegraphics[height=2.27in,width=2in]{original_pa_ell_3}
    \label{fig:subfig3_RD_origin}
}
\subfigure[]{
    \includegraphics[height=2in,width=2in]{original_hyp_par_4}
    \label{fig:subfig4_RD_origin}
}
\caption{\footnotesize Possible types of ......}
				 \label{fig:delay_case_Hopf}
 \end{figure}
The Figs. \ref{fig:subfig1_RD_origin}-\ref{fig:subfig3_RD_origin} have the same nature ...........
\end{document}

Note that Fig. 1(a) and Fig. 1(c) have same nature. In order to write in latex I want to modify the code in a nice re-presentable way.

The above gives the output as follows:

The Figs. 1(a)-1(c) have the same nature ...........

What I need is as follows:

The Figs. 1(a-c) have the same nature ...........

The subfigure package is obsolete. Its direct successor is subfig. And this package offers the \subref* command to achieve what you want.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}    % drop the »demo« option in the actual document
\usepackage{subfig}

\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!ht]

      \subfloat[]{
        \includegraphics[height=2in,width=2in]{original_hyp_par_1}

      \subfloat[]{
        \includegraphics[height=2in,width=2in]{original_par_ell_2}
