Subfigure numeration inside the section

Question

Numbers of figure references

I'm having some problem about subfigure numeration. The figures in my work are numbered inside the section using the line \numberwithin{figure}{section}, so they are like figure 2.1, 2.2, 2.3...

I tried to use the subfigure command and make reference to that figure, so the numeration should be 2.1(a), but it ignores the section number, showing just "figure 1(a)".

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\numberwithin{figure}{section}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\subfigure[subfigure a]{\includegraphics{image1} \label{image1}}
\subfigure[subfigure b]{\includegraphics{image2} \label{image2}}
\end{figure}

According to figure \ref{image1} we ...
\end{document}

Is that a way I could use this kind of numeration and the subfigure command?

If I remove the line \numberwithin{figure}{section} the numeration is fine

You can do this by redefining the command \thesubfigure and a couple of others. Take a look at this question for the details (read the whole thing). Incidentally, that answer recommends switching to a newer package that does the same thing.

Your question is basically a duplicate of that one. (You don't need to redefine \section and \subsection, as the sample code shows; that's all irrelevant to the question).

You are completely right. I could solve the problem using the \ref{fig}\subref{subfig} command. – Eduardo Jan 22 '13 at 22:23

Note that links to other answers do not qualify as new answers. If this question is solved by an answer of a similar question it is a duplicate and should be closed as such instead. – Martin Scharrer Jan 23 '13 at 21:12
Go ahead and close it then. As you see there was some irrelevant fluff in the original answer that I wanted to highlight, and anyway I don't have enough privileges to vote to close. – alexis Jan 23 '13 at 21:16
