Continuous v. per-chapter/section numbering of figures, tables, and other document elements

I'm using the book class. I want to count my figures as "Figure 1.", "Figure 2.", etc. throughout my document. The numbers should not reset when new chapter, section or subsection begins. The counter should just keep on going until the very end of the document. How do I accomplish this? (I'm also using the caption package to customize my captions, by the way.)

Answer 1

Since you are already using the caption package, simply add

\captionsetup{figurewithin=none}

to the preamble, after loading the package.
