Numbering of figures after defining a new float

30 Mar 2023

      Hello everybody,

I am still working on the previously mentioned project, consisting out of different parts. There are about 25 chapters in each part and most of the chapters contain figures. When using the predefined figure environment, then all figures in the figure-list are placed correctly though at each part the numbering restarts.

Now I tried to implement for each part its own float environment, which enables me to produce a figure-list per part with subtitels. How ever in the newly defined floats there is no continuous numbering i.e. chapternumber.serialnumber. Instead each float get the chapter number only.

How to get the numbering right?

Kind regards
Willi

The following example shows what happens:

\useMPlibrary[dum]

\definefloat[Afigure][Afigures][figures]
\definefloat[Bfigure][Bfigures][figures]

\setuphead
	[part]
	[placehead=yes,
	 page=yes]

\setuphead
  [chapter]
	[page=no]	 

\starttext

\starttitle[title=List of figures]
  \startsubject[title=Figures (predefined figureenvironment)]
    \placelistoffigures
  \stopsubject

  \startsubject[title=Figures A]
  	\placelistofAfigures
  \stopsubject

  \startsubject[title=Figures B]
    \placelistofBfigures
  \stopsubject
\stoptitle

\startpart[title=Part ONE]
\startchapter[title={Chapter one in part one}] %les21

\startplaceAfigure
	[location=left,
	 reference=fig:dumA,
	 title={Dummy A}]
	{\externalfigure[dummy][width=0.6\textwidth]}
\stopplaceAfigure

\startplacefigure
	[location=left,
	 reference=fig:dumB,
	 title={Dummy B}]
	{\externalfigure[dummy][width=0.6\textwidth]}
\stopplacefigure

\startsection[title=Section A]

\startplaceAfigure
	[location=left,
	 reference=fig:dumC,
	 title={Dummy C}]
	{\externalfigure[dummy][width=0.6\textwidth]}
\stopplaceAfigure

\stopsection
\stopchapter
\stoppart

\startpart[title=Part TWO]
\startchapter[title=Chapter one in part two]

\startplaceBfigure
	[location=left,
	 reference=fig:dumD,
	 title={Dummy D}]
	{\externalfigure[dummy][width=0.6\textwidth]}
\stopplaceBfigure
\stopchapter
\stoppart
\stoptext
