Re: Cross-Reference to figure

How is the way, to write there the number of the figure instead of the number of the chapter? What you insert, is a cross reference to a label. (Not to the figure itself.) If the label is placed inside the caption for your (floating) figure, then this will work as intended. The label will pick up the figure number, and so any reference to that label will print the figure number. If the label is placed inside the floating figure but outside the caption, then it might refer to the chapter number instead. (Especially if the label comes before the caption). Generally, a label will look backwards in the text, and use the first numbered entity it finds. That might be a figure caption, or a chapter/section/subsection, or an enumeration. So, put your label inside the caption, or immediately after the caption. Then, the cross reference will print the figure number. Helge Hafting

Re: how to cross-reference a figure
got it. My mistake was to place the label in the float object. But I have to put it in the Description of the image Thanks Helge Hafting wrote: misterHide wrote: Hi, I want to cross-reference a Figure by theire number. It should look like: how figure 12 shows you... How could I do so? I just found the opportunity to link against an label. Isn't it possible to link against a figure floating object and theire name? You put a label into the caption in the floating figure. (Insert-label) Then you link to that label. (Insert-reference) The caption will be numbered when the document is printed, and the same number will be printed in the reference. You have various options for how the reference will print, you can get: * the figure number, which is what you asked about * the page number * the figure number and the page number, or strings like figure 12 on the previous page when the page number is close to the reference. In Lyx, this will look like: how figure REF[my figure] shows you... but the REF[my figure] will be replaced by the correct number when you print or make a pdf. LyX always gets these numbers right, no matter how much editing you do later. (Contrast to some other word processors that occationally mess up references and the TOC...) I agree that referencing the figure directly by name without having to place a label first would be easier - but LyX can't do that - yet. One small problem with this approach is what to do when two figures have the same name.

Hi, I want to cross-reference a Figure by theire number. It should look like: how figure 12 shows you... How could I do so? I just found the opportunity to link against an label.

Re: how to cross-reference a figure
When you use a label to cross reference a float, in fact it is only used to identify the float you want to use. The reference will by default be printed as the number associated with the float ( figure number, table number ... ). Remember that those numbers are generated by LaTeX and not known when you enter your text. Hope it helps. Siegfried.
