I'm using packages subfigure and float to create figures and tables that I want to create and I'm trying to create my own environment graph with its own counter and caption (solved there, thanks to dmckee). Now I'd like to create \subgraph command which will do exactly the same as \subfigure command.
I tried create my own command with propreate counter (Assisted here, thanks to Alexey). But problem appears with using \ref command. Reference to \subfigure returns 2.1(a) but reference to \subgraph returns 1.
As I tried to find out how to solve this I read subfig manual, where I've found \newsubfloat command with an example. First error was in use of subfig's commands in subfigure and I got stuck there. If I use subfigure I can access \subfigure but can't force \subgraph working, when I use subfig I can acces \subfloat in graph but not in figure and \ref returns 1.0a instead of 1.1 (a).
definition by subfig package:
\newfloat{graph2}{tbph}{lom}[chapter]
\restylefloat*{graph2}
\floatstyle{plain}
\floatname{grap2}{Graph2}
\captionsetup[graph2]{position=top}
\newcommand{\listofGraphs}{\listof{Graph2}{List of Graphs}}
\newsubfloat[position=bottom,listofformat=subsimple]{graph2}
definition my own \subgraph
\newfloat{graph1}{H}{lop}[chapter]
\floatname{graph1}{Graph1}
\newcounter{GraphOne}[graph1]
\def\theGraphOne{\alph{GraphOne}}
\newcommand{\subgraph}[2][]{
\captionof{subGraph}{#1} #2
}
\newfloat{subGraph}{H}{lop}[graph1]
\floatname{subGraph}{}
Please help me with understanding how \label and \ref commands work (I think my solution collapses because \label is before \caption) and/or with forcing subfig package to work as I want.
Thank you for any idea and be merciful to my english.

Improvement:
By using caption package I can create new counter (subGraph) and use it outside its environment. Only way how to have both counter (subgraph and graph) correcly referred is using \captionof{graph} before \subgraph.
So, my new question is: How to execute \captionof{graph} before subgraphs and typeset in below them? And how to force \ref to show 1.1-a instead of 1.1.1
Atachements:
Code for subfigure: (Returns <chapter>.<figure> (<subfigure>) correct.
\begin{figure}
\subfigure[sub-caption]{\includegraphics{fig1}\label{fig:1}}
\caption{main caption}
\end{figure}
\ref{fig:1}
Code for subfig: (Returns <chapter>.<graph2>-1<subfigure>) incorrect.
\begin{graph2}
\subfloat[sub-caption]{\includegraphics{fig1}\label{fig:2}}
\caption{main caption}
\end{graph2}
\ref{fig:2}
My code: (Returns <chapter>.<graph1>.<subgraph> but caption shows the same "adress")
\begin{graph1}
\captionof{graph1}{main caption}
\subgraph[sub-caption]{\includegraphics{fig1}\label{fig:3}}
\end{graph1}
\ref{fig:3}
I think your subfig solution should work (subfigure is deprecated anyway). The issue with the wrong references might have to do with you using \label incorrectly. You must have the \label command after the \caption, or as a part of it:
\begin{figure}
\caption{A Figure}
\label{fig}
\end{figure}
or
\begin{figure}
\caption{A Figure%
\label{fig}}
\end{figure}
Edit: the following "works for me". As I said, the \label is after the \caption:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{subfig}
\newfloat{graph2}{tbph}{lom}[chapter]
\restylefloat*{graph2}
\floatstyle{plain}
\floatname{grap2}{Graph2}
\captionsetup[graph2]{position=top}
\newcommand{\listofGraphs}{\listof{Graph2}{List of Graphs}}
\newsubfloat[position=bottom,listofformat=subsimple]{graph2}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Test}
\section{Test s}
\begin{graph2}
\subfloat[sub-caption]{\fbox{Fig 1}}
\caption{main caption}
\label{fig:1}
\end{graph2}
\begin{graph2}
\subfloat[sub-caption]{\fbox{Fig 2}}
\caption{main caption}
\label{fig:2}
\end{graph2}
Graph~\ref{fig:1} is the first graph, and~\ref{fig:2} is the second.
\end{document}
This produces:
Graph 1.1 is the first graph, and 1.2 is the second.
I can't elaborate right now, but you want to use \refstepcounter instead of \addtocounter.

This question has already been answered once (wrap LaTeX command in environment), yet I still struggle to make my own rather simple new environment command work.
What I wanted to do is to convert the following LaTex block, which shows the output of some code, into a command I can reuse.
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\texttt{
>> CODE OUTPUT
\end{minipage}}
It is clear that in order to make a new environment command that replicates what I do above, I will have to make use of wrappers. (Because of the \fbox and the \texttt command.)
I would like to do this without having to download yet another package, or going into the secret realms of LaTex with some predefined \dir command that is only there to do the same job twice.
Checking the link from before, it seems that a productive solution is to use \bgroup and \egroup. I would therefore write something like this:
\newenvironment{CodeOutput}
{\fbox\bgroup\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}\texttt\bgroup}
{\egroup\end{minipage}\egroup}
Yet this will still not work. (On Overleaf at least.) It would be great if there was a straightforward way of making commands like these. Thanks for any useful suggestions!
If want to write a command that does what you're after, then the following would work:
\newcommand{\mycmd}[1]{%
\fbox{%
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily #1
\end{minipage}%
}%
}
The idea here works because the <arg>ument supplied to \mycmd{<arg>} is replaced by #1 in its entirety. If you want want to rewrite this as an environment, it's a little more difficult, purely because of \fbox. \fbox is doesn't have an environment-form equivalent the same way \texttt has \ttfamily (which is technically a font switch). There is a quick way around it provided by environ - it allows you to capture the contents of an environment in a macro \BODY:
\usepackage{environ}
\NewEnviron{myenvA}{%
\fbox{%
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily \BODY
\end{minipage}%
}%
}
However, you do have the option by capturing the content of an environment inside a box and then setting the box inside an \fbox:
\newsavebox{\codebox}% To store the content of myenvB
\newenvironment{myenvB}{%
\begin{lrbox}{\codebox}%
\ttfamily\ignorespaces
}{%
\end{lrbox}%
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\usebox{\codebox}%
\end{minipage}}%
}
The following minimal example shows all the above cases:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{environ}
\newcommand{\mycmd}[1]{%
\fbox{%
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily #1
\end{minipage}%
}%
}
\NewEnviron{myenvA}{%
\fbox{%
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily \BODY
\end{minipage}%
}%
}
\newsavebox{\codebox}
\newenvironment{myenvB}{%
\begin{lrbox}{\codebox}%
\ttfamily\ignorespaces
}{%
\end{lrbox}%
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\usebox{\codebox}%
\end{minipage}}%
}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily SoMe CoDe HeRe
\end{minipage}}
\bigskip
\noindent
\mycmd{SoMe CoDe HeRe}
\bigskip
\noindent
\begin{myenvA}
SoMe CoDe HeRe
\end{myenvA}
\bigskip
\begin{lrbox}{\codebox}
\ttfamily SoMe CoDe HeRe
\end{lrbox}
\noindent
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\usebox{\codebox}
\end{minipage}}
\bigskip
\noindent
\begin{myenvB}
SoMe CoDe HeRe
\end{myenvB}
\end{document}
How do I combine \afterpage and \endfloat to easily switch between having figures and tables at the end of the document or having them in the text?
I want to easily choose between my figures at the end of the document and my figures in the text. Because of that, sometimes I will use \afterpage package and other times I will use \endfloat would be nice to combine both.
Right now, all the times I try to run \endfloat when I have a clear page, I get the following message:
Argument of \efloat#xfloat has an extra }.
I already tried to include after page in the DeclareDelayedFloatFlavor, something like:
\DeclareDelayedFloatFlavor{afterpage}{figure}
It did not work.
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{afterpage}
% ---------------------
%figures at the end
% ---------------------
\usepackage[nolists]{endfloat}
% force landscape at the end
\begin{document}
{\afterpage{
\begin{figure}
\end{figure}
}
\end{document}
If you want to switch between having figures within the text and at the end, I suggest to only use the endfloat package. Commenting or commenting it's optional argument disable will allow you to quickly alternate between figures at the end or in the text.
I'm not entirely certain what the purpose of afterpage was in your example, but if you used it to move the figure to a separate page, this can conveniently be done with the p floating specifier.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[
disable
]{endfloat}
\begin{document}
test
\begin{figure}[p]
xxx
\caption{caption}
\end{figure}

I'm using a LaTeX template (provided by ASME) to write a conference paper.
The asme2e.cls class defines a "nomenclature" environment as follows:
% Nomenclature environment
\newbox\tempbox
\newenvironment{nomenclature}{%
\newcommand\entry[2]{%
\setbox\tempbox\hbox{##1.\quad}
\hangindent\wd\tempbox\noindent{##1}\quad\ignorespaces##2\par}
\section*{NOMENCLATURE}}{\par\addvspace{12pt}}
which is used, in the .tex source file, as follows:
\begin{nomenclature}
% [...]
\entry{$C_{visc}$}{Viscous friction coefficient.}
\entry{$M$}{Spool mass.}
% [...]
\end{nomenclature}
resulting in the description texts not being left justified (since a fixed horizontal space is inserted between the symbol (e.g.: M) and the description (e.g.: Spool mass.), but the symbols have different lengths (e.g.: Cvisc is longer than M).
Is there a way to fix the class to have left-justified descriptions?
(I did a few experiments with \dimexpr and the calc package, but just got a bunch of errors).
(I also asked ASME if they could provide an updated template, but I'm still waiting for their feedback...)
I couldn't solve the problem, but I found a "quick and dirty" workaround, using the Tabbing and setspace packages.
Here is the new .tex source:
%[...]
\usepackage{Tabbing}
\usepackage{setspace}
%[...]
\begin{nomenclature}
{\setstretch{1.1}
\begin{tabbing}
\noindent
% [...]
\entry{$C_{visc}$}\quad\quad\={Viscous friction coefficient.}\\
\entry{$M$}\>{Spool mass.}\\
\entry{$v$}\>{Spool velocity.}\\
% [...]
\end{tabbing}
} % end \setstretch
\end{nomenclature}
%[...]
(Clearly, I'm completely bypassing the \entry command defined by the asme2e.cls class for the nomenclature environment).
I also tried to edit the asme2ej.cls file but nothing working for me. Then I ended up using the tabbing and set space packages. However, I did not use the \setstretch, and my document compiled just fine.
%[...]
\usepackage{Tabbing}
\usepackage{setspace}
%[...]
\begin{nomenclature}
\begin{tabbing}
\noindent
\entry{XYZ}\quad\quad\={This is an example}\\
\entry{PQR}\>{This is an example}\\
\entry{ZXC}\>{This is an example}\\
\entry{CVN}\>{This is an example}\\
\end{tabbing}
\end{nomenclature}
%[...]
I ran into a similar issue when submitting a paper to an ASME journal. My solution was to edit the asme2e.cls file:
\newenvironment{nomenclature}{%
\newcommand\entry[2]{\noindent\hbox to 0.05\textwidth{##1}\ignorespaces##2\par}
\section*{Nomenclature}}{\par\addvspace{12pt}}
You can change the amount of indentation by changing "0.05\textwidth".
I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but see the following MWE:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\newlength{\nomenlabelindent}
\setlength{\nomenlabelindent}{4em}
\newenvironment{nomenclature}{%
\newcommand\entry[2]{%
\hangindent\nomenlabelindent\noindent\makebox[\nomenlabelindent][l]{##1\quad}\ignorespaces##2\par}%
\section*{NOMENCLATURE}}{\par\addvspace{12pt}}
\begin{document}
\begin{nomenclature}
\entry{$A$} {Parameter}
\entry{$B$} {Parameter}
\entry{$C$}{Parameter}
\entry{$D$}{Parameter}
\entry{$E$}{Parameter}
\end{nomenclature}
\end{document}
Output:

I am preparing a presentation in beamer with gradientframe package. But it's giving me an error.
How can I write the name of the command in \frame?
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Introduction}
The gradientframe package provides a command, \gradientframe for simple and discreet
rectangular grayscale gradient frames around objects, such as figures or tables, to set
them apart from the surrounding text.
\end{frame}
As in several answers to the linked question (thanks #Bas Swinckels), the way advised to insert a backslash \ in the output is to use \textbackslash in the source.
Then, you can use (or not) just \texttt{} (rather than verbatim or else) to mark command names.
Finally, if you have to mention these command name(s) many times in your slides, you may want to put the above two in a newcommand:
\documentclass{beamer}
\newcommand{\mycomm}[1]{\texttt{\textbackslash #1}}
%\newcommand{\commgf}{\texttt{\textbackslash gradientframe}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Introduction}
... a command, \textbackslash gradientframe for simple ...
or:
... a command, \texttt{\textbackslash gradientframe} for simple ...
or, better:
... a command, \mycomm{gradientframe} for simple ...
%... a command, \commgf{} for simple ...
\end{frame}
\end{document}
This code gives you:
I've hit an annoying problem in LaTeX. I've got a tex file of about 1000 lines. I've already got a few figures, but when I try to add another figure, It barfs with:
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ... \sf#size \z# \selectfont \#currbox
l.937 \begin{figure}[t]
If I move the figure to other parts of the file, I can get similar errors on different lines:
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ... \sf#size \z# \selectfont \#currbox
l.657 \paragraph
{A Centering Algorithm}
If I comment out the figure, all is ok.
%\begin{figure}[t]
% \caption{Example decision tree, from Reiter and Dale [2000]}
% \label{fig:relation-decision-tree}
% \centering
% \includegraphics[keepaspectratio=true]{./relation-decision-tree.eps}
%\end{figure}
If I keep just the begin and end like:
\begin{figure}%[t]
% \caption{Example decision tree, from Reiter and Dale [2000]}
% \label{fig:relation-decision-tree}
% \centering
% \includegraphics[keepaspectratio=true]{./relation-decision-tree.eps}
\end{figure}
I get:
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ... \sf#size \z# \selectfont \#currbox
l.942 \end
{figure}
At first, I thought maybe LaTeX has hit some limit, and I tried playing with the ulimits, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
i've got other figures with graphics already. my preamble looks like:
\documentclass[acmcsur,acmnow]{acmtrans2n}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{lastpage}
\usepackage{pict2e}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{varioref}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{qtree}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{tree-dvips}
\usepackage{mdwlist}
\makecompactlist{quote*}{quote}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{ulem}
I found, not that it's a problem with \textsuperscript, but that it's with a ^ def I picked up from http://anthony.liekens.net/index.php/LaTeX/SubscriptAndSuperscriptInTextMode . The fix is to put the use of ^ in {}, as in I've put entire sections where I use lots of ^ and _ in {}. Hurrah!
During the end of my Master Thesis I also had the problem that after some amount of figures, I got an error without any special error message. After I read you thread, I also tried something with the packages included and in the end I was successful by taking out the \usepackage{pxfonts} and \usepackage{txfonts}. Yeah, finally.. I almost went crazy.. ;)
If I Google for "latex undefined control sequence" I get this.
I've successfully included a graphic into LaTeX using something like this:
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm,graphicx}
...
I just wanted to test adding an image to a \LaTeX file:
\includegraphics[scale=0.60]{basic-info.png}
I typeset an entire dissertation of 200 pages with lots of figures in LaTeX and didn't run into a limit like that. I'd bet on a syntax problem first before I'd assume a size issue.
Your error lies elsewhere. I wouldn't be the least surprised if it turned out to be the document class. Try altering your document for \documentclass{article} and see where you get. If that fixes the problem you can complain to the ACM (ROTFLMAO—I've dealth with ACM).
If that doesn't fix, the problem, slip in a \tracingall somewhat before the offending figure or section, put the results into http://pastebin.com/, and let us know.
Please receive the thanks of a (formerly) utterly-confounded graduate student. Quick clarification for other users:
{The quickest ^{way} to put this solution into practice is to bracket all sections of text involving the character ``\^'' as shown here.}
