I need to have figures with several subfigures . In some cases, the subfigures of a figure have to go to the next page. For this purpose, I have to use \continuedFloat but then the figure number of image remain same (or sometimes completely weird).

I have asked this question before here and somebody also asked similar problem here but the solutions provided to both the questions did not work for me. Therefore, I am posting a new question with minimal working example.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Just now I realized that if I remove the line \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} then, everything works fine. But if I keep that line of code then, the figure number of both the figures remain same.

My code (MWE):

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[a4paper, width=425.196850394pt, top=70.866141732pt,bottom=70.866141732pt]{geometry}
\usepackage{tabu}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{float}  
\raggedbottom                    
\usepackage{tabularx}
\newcolumntype{Y}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}%%%SO for th table form of images
\usepackage[caption = true,font=normalsize]{subfig}

No Solution yet:

  • The solution provided to my question says to use \phantomcaption and set caption=true which I have already done but still the figure number of both the figures are same.

  • The solution provided to other question is also similar and that did not work for me either.

  • I think subfig has some issues with hyperref, is switching to subcaption an option? – Torbjørn T. Sep 03 '15 at 09:06
  • @TorbjørnT. : By switching to it, it throws an that Undefined control sequence \subfloat. And, changing the whole structure will be a problem as this is just a MWE of whole big file. – skm Sep 03 '15 at 09:10
  • Yes, switching package does require switching syntax for all subfloats, which is a downside. The upside is that it works. – Torbjørn T. Sep 03 '15 at 09:12
  • @TorbjørnT. : In my thesis file (quite big), the figure number were quite weird. It was like 5.1, 5.2 5.3 5.2 5.1 5.0. And after removing hyperref, it becomes 5.1, 5.2 5.3 5.3 5.3 5.3. So, the problem persists even after removing hyperref. – skm Sep 03 '15 at 09:14
  • @TorbjørnT. : Ok, please provide the example of solving this problem using subcaption. I will try to make changes in my original file if it helps – skm Sep 03 '15 at 09:44
  • subfig is known not to behave well with hyperref. Use subcaption as recommended by @TorbjørnT. – egreg Sep 03 '15 at 10:27

It may be possible to make this work with subfig as well, but here is an example that uses subcaption instead. It provides, among other things, a subfigure environment and a subcaption command. The former is a minipage-like environment, used as

\begin{subfigure}{\linewidth}
\includegraphics{example-image}
\caption{This is a sub-caption.}
\end{subfigure}

The latter is used instead of the normal \caption, and makes sub-captions instead. In general, this should only be used within a group or environment. The manual shows an example with minipages, in the below code I just added a brace pair around it and the graphic.

With the below code you get figures 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 as expected.

Side by side figure

Personally I wouldn't use a tabular(x) at all for that case, but if you prefer it, just place the tabularx environment a \caption inside a subfigure environment, i.e.

\begin{subfigure}{\linewidth}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{YY}
\includegraphics{1} & \includegraphics{2} \\
First & Second
\end{tabularx}
\caption{Third layer}
\end{subfigure}

Here is a different suggestion:

\usepackage{subcaption}

\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{float}  
\raggedbottom

  • thanks. I have updated my question. Actually, I have to put figures using table also. I have provided the third figure too using table in my MWE. Please tell me how can I use subcaption in that table environment – skm Sep 03 '15 at 10:33
  • @skm Just put the table in a subfigure environment? Or should First image and Second image be subcaptions? – Torbjørn T. Sep 03 '15 at 10:48
  • thanks, actually the tabular environment is not necessray for this example but in my original file, I need to have four image in a single row, I need to provide them indivisual names and I need to group them. For that case, use of tabular enviornment becomes necessary. Anyways, thanks for your suggestion – skm Sep 03 '15 at 12:38
