------- Additional comments from sa...@openoffice.org Fri Apr 3 16:17:13 +0000 2009 ------- Hello, It is quite common in engineering and sciences, and possible other fields as well, to show a figure with subfigures in it. This feature of adding subfigures and, optionally, their own captions and labels does not exist in OOo at present. In this scenario of subfigures in a figure, a figure has a caption and a label as usual, e.g. "Figure 2: The various stages of development." This figure in turn contains further figures, optionally with their own labels and captions, e.g. first subfigure may be "(a) Initial", second subfigure may be "(b) Middle", and so on. This means that the labels of the subfigures reset their numbering within a figure. That numbering should be, of course, customizable. Also, the List of Figures usually does not list the subfigures. Further, in the text it is quite common to cross-reference the figure (e.g. "See Figure 2") and subfigures (e.g. "... as shown in Figure 2-a"). In other words, the subfigures should have their own numbering, but only within the scope of the figure they are a part of (numbering resets in every figure), and it should be possible to cross-reference subfigures in the text. Last time I tried this was in OOo 2.4.1 last fall and it appeared to be not easily possible. I raised this topic in the OOo user mailing list and discovered that this feature was not present in OOo at that time. One can refer to the subfig package of LaTex for possible algorithmic details and to see what this kind of a feature usually looks like: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/subfig/ Regards and thanks. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
