Automatic figure referencing broken

[Bebotron]

In Chapter5.tex, there are examples showing how tables with \label{tab:name} can be used with \ref{tab:name} to reference. That seems to work perfectly fine, but there is no example of doing it with figures. If you include \label{fig:somefig} and \label{fig:somefig2} to both first figures, and try to use Figure~\ref{fig:somefig} and Figure~\ref{fig:somefig2} in the main text, both reference Figure 5.1, instead of the expected Figure 5.1 and Figure 5.2.

@Bebotron Did you put the \label{fig:name} directly after \caption{The caption of the figure.}?

I have tried the following piece of code:

Refer Figure~\ref{fig:first} and Figure~\ref{fig:second}

\begin{landscape} % Require pdflscape and everypage packadge
    \begin{figure}[h]
        \centering
        % will generate blank page if use full  \linewidth
        \includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{fig3} 
        \caption{Continues figures in landscape mode. (first)}
        \label{fig:first}
    \end{figure}    

    \begin{figure}[h]
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{fig4}
        \caption{Continues figures in landscape mode. (second)}
        \label{fig:second}
    \end{figure}
\end{landscape}

and it works properly.

Great that fixed it! Seems a bit like unexpected behavior, but it works like a charm! Thanks!

@Bebotron
Actually, to reference figure/table number, \lable must occur after the \caption. When declared outside, it will give the section number. To be completely safe, the label for any picture or table can go within the \caption{} command, as follows:

\caption{Close-up of a gull\label{fig:gull}}

I have met similar problems before. I'm glad I could help.

Ooohh gotcha, this will save a lot of headaches in the future. Thanks!
