Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ a \subref question

[yongmayer]

Hi all,

I need to refer to subfigures as Figures 1a and b, but when I used \subref{}, it only gave me Figures 1a and (b). How can I get rid of the parentheses around b?

BTW, I used following lines to remove parentheses in 1(a) with \ref{}, however I don't know how to set similar commands for \subref{}.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{subfigure}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\thesubfigure}{\alph{subfigure}}
\renewcommand{\@thesubfigure}{(\alph{subfigure})\hskip\subfiglabelskip}
\renewcommand{\@@thesubfigure}{(\alph{subfigure})}
\makeatother

Thanks,
yongmayer

Hi,

subfigure is an obsolete package and shouldn't be used anymore; in its stead you can use the subfig or the subcaption package. The former, offers you a starred version of the \subref command that solves your problem; take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{subfig}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \subfloat{\rule{3cm}{2cm}\label{fig:sub1}}%
  \qquad
  \subfloat{\rule{3cm}{2cm}\label{fig:sub2}}
  \caption{Two subfigures.}%
  \label{fig:test}%
\end{figure}

Figures \ref{fig:sub1} and \ref{fig:sub2}...
Subfigures \subref{fig:sub1} and \subref{fig:sub2}

Figures \ref{fig:sub1} and \ref{fig:sub2}...
Subfigures \subref*{fig:sub1} and \subref*{fig:sub2}

\end{document}
