LaTex: Fixing Wrong Figure Numbers
The post is copied from: Terminally IncoherentWhat I tell you right now may save you hours of extensive debugging, cursing under your breath, commenting out custom code dealing with figure layout and much frustration. Whenever you use figures, always (and I mean ALWAYS EVER FOREVER ALWAYS) put \caption first, and \label second like this:
If you put the \label above \caption you will run into trouble when referencing figures inside subsections. In my case, the caption underneath the figure would say Fig. 4.2 but the output of \ref would be 4.3.10 because somehow it was picking up the section numbers wrong.\begin{figure}[htp]
\centering
\includegraphics{image.eps}
\caption{Some Image}
\label{fig:some-image}
\end{figure}
I had to submit the document today n all chapters except chapter 1 had \label above \caption n i was so *&^*&%^&$%* but i found on google search a blog Terminally Incoherent. It helped me n i m really thankful to the owner of the blog.
