I have two figures with multiple subfigures in each. The subfigures in my first figure are named a), b), c), d). In my second figure, I want my subfigures to start numbering where my first figure ends, e), f), g)). Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance

\usepackage{subcaption}

code:

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,trim={2cm 7cm 2cm 6cm},clip]{figures/Ellipse10.pdf}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}

\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,trim={2cm 7cm 2cm 6cm},clip]{figures/Ellipse25.pdf}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}
%
\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,trim={2cm 7cm 2cm 6cm},clip]{figures/Ellipse15.pdf}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}
%
    \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,trim={2cm 7cm 2cm 6cm},clip]{figures/Ellipse30.pdf}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}

\end{figure}



\begin{figure}
\centering
    \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,trim={2cm 7cm 2cm 6cm},clip]{figures/Ellipse50.pdf}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}
%
    \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,trim={2cm 7cm 2cm 6cm},clip]{figures/Ellipse70.pdf}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}
%
    \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,trim={2cm 7cm 2cm 6cm},clip]{figures/Ellipse90.pdf}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}

    Welcome to TeX.SX! I know of at least four ways to get “subfigures”, you should tell us which one you're using. – egreg Dec 02 '18 at 17:42
  • I'm sorry for that. i'm using the same aproach as in this question: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/119984/subfigures-side-by-side-with-captions – Eirik Ulstein Dec 02 '18 at 17:46
  • instead of link please provide in question a complete small document beginning with \documentclass ... and ending \end{document}. help us to help you! – Zarko Dec 02 '18 at 18:03

    Put \setcounter{subfigure}{4} inside the 1st subfigure within the 2nd figure. \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}\setcounter{subfigure}{3} – Sigur Dec 02 '18 at 18:03
  • Thank you all. Sigur, setconter worked perfecty, Much apreciated – Eirik Ulstein Dec 02 '18 at 18:09

    No, don't use the dirty \setcounter hack. This would not suppress the increasing of the main figure counter, and it would make trouble when using hyperref. Use \ContinuedFloat instead. –  Dec 02 '18 at 21:50

With the \ContinuedFloat macro from the caption package, the previous figure will be continued and the numbering will be correct:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}

\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}
%
\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}
%
\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}
\caption{}
\label{}
\end{figure}

\clearpage

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\ContinuedFloat
\centering
    \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}
%
\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}
    \caption{}
    \label{}
\end{subfigure}

\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}
