In Chapter 7 of my document which begins

\documentclass[pagesize=auto,bibliography=totocnumbered]{scrbook}

I include a figure (the first in chapter 7) using the code

\begin{figure}[h]
\label{fig:Z1}
\centering
\includegraphics*[width=0.8\textwidth]{images/Z.eps}
\caption{Probability of membership in Cluster 1}
\end{figure}

Figure \ref{fig:Z1} contains a plot of the first column of \verb|Z|.

Now the figure is captioned as Figure 7.1, as I would expect. However in the text following \end{figure} the reference \ref{fig:Z1} gives rise to 7.2.4, which is the number of the subsection in which the figure occurs. What is going on?

In figure and table environments, the \label directive must come after, not before, the \caption directive in order for LaTeX to be able to make the correct association between the label and the object (a figure or table) that's to be cross-referenced elsewhere in the document via \ref and similar commands. – Mico Nov 02 '22 at 05:06

For more information about how LaTeX's \label-\ref system works, please see the query Understanding how references and labels work? – Mico Nov 02 '22 at 05:10
