Re: @Tag for @Figure

[Joe Beach]

Hi, 

Actually, @Figure does have an @Tag option. I have used it quite a bit.
Here is an example from a paper I wrote:

@Figure @Tag {phcurr-flatband-Inzero} @Location {FullPage}
@Caption address@hidden, @SubmittedJournal}
@Diag { 
7.0i @High 5.5i @Wide //
@Box translate {CTR to 0.5,0.5} outlinestyle {noline} 
@IncludeGraphic {"figures/phcurr-flatband-Inzero.eps"}
}

The @Caption option uses some symbols I defines in my mydefs file, which
aren't really important here. The @Diag symbol puts the figure on the
page where I want it and ensures that I only get one figure per page (a
requirement of the journals to which I submit papers). In the body of
the document, I can reference the figure by number or page in a manner
such as:

@PP An example of the photocurrent data is shown in Figure @NumberOf
{phcurr-flatband-Inzero} on page @PageOf {phcurr-flatband-Inzero}. Data
for other solution pH's are similar...

If I remember right, you can also use symbols like @SectionOf, if they
are appropriate to the document type you are using. I'm using version
3.28 for this, but I'm pretty sure the ability has been available since
3.17 or earlier. Hopefully this will help you.
