Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Change name of figures, delete spacing

[Angelika]

Heyho!

I'd be very happy if someone of you could help me with two little problems:
I need to change the naming of figures from "Figure x" to "Figure Sx".
What I have done so far is to use \renewcommand:
\renewcommand{\figurename}{Figure~S}
This gives "Figure S x". How can I get rid of the spacing?
Moreover, when I reference the figure, I write
Figure~S\ref{fig:"LABEL"}
The result there also gives an unwanted spacing "Figure S x".
Thank you already very much in advance!

Cheers.

Without a minimal working example one could only try to guess.

Changing the \thefigure command may help. The type of customization depends, for example, on whether your class supports chapters or not.

Using the hyperref or cleveref package you can add the type of the cross-reference.

Minimum working example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[journal=jacsat,manuscript=article,demo]{achemso}
\title
   {Title}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\figurename}{Figure~S}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{S\arabic{equation}}
\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics{FigureS1.png}
    \caption{Figure caption}
    \label{fig:potential1}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Please use the forum editor's code tags to mark the code and allow testing.

Changing \theequation shows you the way, you just have to adjust it for \thefigure.

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately it gives me twice the number now, the first without spacing, the second with spacing.

Then don't use both remove \renewcommand{\figurename}{Figure~S} or just use \renewcommand{\figurename}{Figure} if you need "figure" caoitalized.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[journal=jacsat,manuscript=article,demo]{achemso}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{S\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{S\arabic{equation}}
\title   {Title}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics{FigureS1.png}
    \caption{Figure caption}
    \label{fig:potential1}
\end{figure}
See Figure~\ref{fig:potential1}.
\end{document}

Should do it.

This would also work using hyperref:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[journal=jacsat,manuscript=article,demo]{achemso}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{S\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{S\arabic{equation}}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\title   {Title}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics{FigureS1.png}
    \caption{Figure caption}
    \label{fig:potential1}
\end{figure}
See \autoref{fig:potential1}.
\end{document}

BTW: Adding S to every figure number looks strange and useless. But if you like so …

Oh! Now, I see. Stupid me! Thanks a lot!
