Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Subfigures over more than 2 pages

[Heleen]

Hello,

I've been using LaTeX for a while and I'm doing a project at the moment which has a lot of testing figures (characters A-Z, a-z, numbers 0-9). I've put them all as subfloats in a figure and I've used \ContinuedFloat to make them span over 5 pages. However, when it gets to the 2nd \ContinuedFloat it starts numbering the subfigure's Figure number backwards, even though it should still be the same figure (it counts from Figure 1 to Figure 0, Figure -1, Figure -2, Figure -3). After this figure there are more figures and those then count up again (Figure -2, Figure -1, Figure 0, Figure 1, Figure 2).
The subfigure numbers of the subfigures, are correctly numbered.
I've added an example image to show what's happening.

I'll add a part of the code from somewhere in the middle to show how I've inserted all the subfigures:

Code: Select all

		\subfloat[\label{fig:test-15}]{\includegraphics[height=28mm, keepaspectratio=true]{testimages/test-character-15.jpg}}%
	\end{center}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[!hbtp]
	\ContinuedFloat 
	\begin{center}
		\subfloat[\label{fig:test-16}]{\includegraphics[height=28mm, keepaspectratio=true]{testimages/test-character-16.jpg}}%
            	\qquad

My project is due in soon so I really hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance!
Heleen

\ContinuedFloat only works really well when each (partly) figure has a \caption command, and if the position= setting was setup right: Usually \caption resets the subfigure counter, so you need \ContinuedFloat to prevent this. If there is no \caption, you usually don't need \ContinuedFloat. But getting the right figure and subfigure numbers can sometimes be a pain in such situations.

So I would suggest removing \ContinuedFloat in figures without a \caption. If the numbering is still not right afterwards, this needs to be adjusted manually with \setcounter{subfigure}{<value>} inside the affected figures.

Thank you very much!
Removing the \ContinuedFloat didn't work. It would just go on counting on the next page where it shouldn't.
What does work is: instead of having just the same label at the end of each figure, I put an empty caption around it: \caption[\label{label}]{}. So like this:

Code: Select all

		\subfloat[\label{fig:test-33}]{\includegraphics[height=28mm, keepaspectratio=true]{testimages/test-character-33.jpg}}%
		\caption[\label{fig:test-charimgs}]{}
	\end{center}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[]
	\ContinuedFloat
	\begin{center}
		\subfloat[\label{fig:test-34}]{\includegraphics[height=28mm, keepaspectratio=true]{testimages/test-character-34.jpg}}%
	            \qquad

That did the trick.
Again, thanks very much!

Edit: What I didn't realise, was that the empty captions do show up in the List of Figures.

Code: Select all

I don't really find that a big problem, just something I thought I should mention. I don't think there's a way around that other than manually setting the counter.
Edit2: Sorry for all the edits, but I found a solution for the problem on these forums . Just put \captionsetup{list=no} at the beginning of the captions you don't want to end up in the List of Figures, and \captionsetup{list=yes} after these captions. The following figures will show up in the List of Figures .
