In LaTeX, by default, tables are numbered Table 1, Table 2, Table 3 an so on (or Table 1.1, Table 1.2, Table 2.1, etc if you’re using chapters). Sometimes you may want to change the way these are numbered. The solution is very similar to changing list numbering styles using different keywords. Like enumeration lists, [...]

Sometimes you want to display an image sideways if, for example, it’s wider than it is tall. Or sometimes you just want to show images at funny angles. Each to their own.

If you’ve written up a LaTeX document and find that some of the figures, tables, algorithms, etc. are being referenced wrong (such as Figure 2.4 being referenced as figure 6), chances are you’ve put your caption and \label tags in the wrong order.

Adding figures to LaTeX documents is quite simple. Like tables, figures can be added to the List of Figures automatically. Images need to be converted into encapsulated post script (eps) in order to be added to the document (other file types may be used with the inclusion of some external packages, which won’t be covered [...]
