how to set figure label ?

how to set figure label ?

[Harald Koenig]

Hi,

how can I set a "label" for a figure without 

    \placefigure[][fig:...]{} 

for some "figures" I use strange macros -- and at those places I get errors when calling \placefigure
BUT I'd like to check the page numbers of those places using

      \doifreferencefoundelse{fig:bild\the\bildnr}%

and right now I get 

      references      > unknown reference '[][fig:bild5]'

for those pictures...


thanks -- and greetings from the DANTE meeting in Stralsund, Germany

Harald

PS: Hans -- we miss you so much!!!

I much prefer the syntax

\startplacefigure [reference=fig:,location={here,force},title={}]
   \externalfigure[]...
\stopplacefigure

Depending on the "strange macros" that you want to use,
this should generally work. I find that this gives one many more
options.

ACK!  works even for my "strange macros" ;-)
