Articles, Essays, and Journal Templates ⇒ Problem with subfloats and \vref

[VitorPossebom]

Hello,

I want to create a figure (figure 1) with two subfigures (subfigures 1a and 1b) and to use \vref to make references to the subfigures in my text. When I insert the figure's caption at the end of the environment "figure" and write \vref{levelintuition} or \vref{growthintuition} as I do in the example below, I have no problem at all.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\subfloat[Linear projection of tuition prices into ENEM results\label{levelintuition}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{model1.png}} \quad
\subfloat[Correlation between tuition prices and ENEM results\label{growthintuition}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{model2.png}}
\caption{Intuitive explanation of Models \ref{level} and \ref{growth}\label{intuition}}
\end{figure}

However, I want to insert the figure's caption above the figure as I do when I insert a table. In this case, I typed the code below. As I wished, the figure's caption is now written above it. But, when I use \vref{levelintuition} or \vref{growthintuition}, the program writes subfigures 2a and 2b instead of 1a and 1b. How can I solve this numbering problem?

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h]
\caption{Intuitive explanation of Models \ref{level} and \ref{growth}}
\label{intuition}
\centering
\subfloat[Linear projection of tuition prices into ENEM results\label{levelintuition}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{model1.png}} \quad
\subfloat[Correlation between tuition prices and ENEM results\label{growthintuition}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{model2.png}}
\end{figure}

Thank you very much for your help,

Vítor.

PS: It is the first time I asked a question about LaTeX. Consequently, I am not sure if I provided enough information about my problem. If you need more information, I will gladly provide.

Hi and welcome,

a compilable example is always a good idea, as it saves some time for the helpers.

To the problem at hand, i cannot reproduce this. PLease test the following example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h]
	\centering
	\caption{Intuitive explanation of Models \ref{level} and \ref{growth}\label{intuition}}
	\subfloat[Linear projection of tuition prices into ENEM
	results\label{level}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{example-image-a}}
	\quad
	\subfloat[Correlation between tuition prices and ENEM
	results\label{growth}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{example-image-b}}
	\end{figure}
	\end{document}

Thank you very much, Johannes_B.

The funny thing is that, when I run the following code,

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\caption{Intuitive explanation of Models 1 and 2}
\label{intuition}
\subfloat[Linear projection of tuition prices into ENEM results\label{levelintuition}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{model1.png}} \quad
\subfloat[Correlation between tuition prices and ENEM results\label{growthintuition}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{model2.png}}
\end{figure}
Subfigures \ref{levelintuition} and \ref{growthintuition} are nice.
\end{document}

I get a very nice output

Output 1

test.PNG (40.79 KiB) Viewed 14011 times

.

However, when I copy and paste the above code in the middle of my article, the output is not as nice because, although the caption says figure 1, we can read subfigures 2a and 2b at the top of the figure and the subcaption are below the figures.

Output 2

Moreover, when I run the code

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\subfloat[Linear projection of tuition prices into ENEM results\label{levelintuition}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{model1.png}} \quad
\subfloat[Correlation between tuition prices and ENEM results\label{growthintuition}]{\includegraphics[width=.45\columnwidth]{model2.png}}
\caption{Intuitive explanation of Models \ref{level} and \ref{growth}\label{intuition}}
\end{figure}

,

the references are correctly numbered, but the captions are below the figure.

Output 3

sample2.PNG (53.67 KiB) Viewed 14011 times

I wanted the captions to be above the figure. Can it be a problem in my preamble? I think it is, because when I run

Code: Select all

I was a bit in a hurry and didn't even provide the hacky solution, as i thought something better would turn up.

After doing some testing, the cause lies at a position i would never have guessed. Let me do a bit of investigating there first.

For now, add \addtocounter{figure}{-1} after your caption. It will step the value one down.



EDIT: KOMA is doing a bit more than i expected there. Ignore the above mentioned hack and use the proper captions=above instead. Please have a look at the follwing two minimal working examples. One uses the more modern package subcaption. Might be a bit more typing, but you have mmore control, are in charge, and it provides hyperref support. Package subfig is known to be a bit buggy there.

Thank you very much, Johannes_B. It worked perfectly now. By the way, it is a very beautiful template.
