Hi

I would like to typeset a formula as a figure, so that the formula enters the numbering scheme of figures and that I gain the possibility of adding a figure caption. An example were this would be practical is when using ppchtex. I've been googling but having trouble finding hints on how to make such a construction. Is it possible at all?
