I want to be able to reference a captionless figure (e.g. \ref{figure1}). Based on this answer, it appears that labeling a figure (e.g. \label{figure1}) actually labels the caption. How do I reference my captionless figure? I tried adding an empty caption (e.g. \caption{}) but this create an undesired Figure 1.

    You wrote, "it appears that labeling a figure (e.g. \label{figure1}) actually labels the caption." That's not entirely correct. The \label mechanism latches on to the most recently incremented counter variable. It so happens that \caption directives do increment a counter variable (called figure or table, resp., depending on whether the \caption directive is encountered [pun intended] in a figure or table environment). But that's not the same as saying that the caption is labelled. Please clarify what you intend a cross-reference to a captionless figure to look like/consist of. – Mico Nov 09 '20 at 06:06
  • I want to have a figure without a caption, and I want to be able to reference the figure. That's basically it. Currently when I try adding a label to the figure, and then referencing that label someplace else, nothing appears. – Rylan Schaeffer Nov 09 '20 at 16:37
