Reference multiple subfloated figures using \ref{X,Y,Z} to give Fig. 1a,1b,1c in text

Question

I want to reference labels in the sentence, as above in the code: like this - \ref{X,Y,Z} to give "Fig. 1a,1b,1c" or "Fig. 1a-c" in text.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}    
...in the three statistically favoured models (Fig.~\ref{fig:LocalPoly1_residual,   
fig:IDW2_residual, fig:RBF_residual}) discussed below and not as well in the case of 
GlobalPoly5 (Fig.~\ref{fig:GlobalPoly5_residual}).

\begin{figure}[h!]
  \centering
  \subfloat[GlobalPoly5]{\label{fig:GlobalPoly5_residual}\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{"Data Analysis Files/GlobalPoly5_residual"}}                
  \subfloat[LocalPoly1]{\label{fig:LocalPoly1_residual}\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{"Data Analysis Files/LocalPoly1_residual"}}
  \subfloat[IDW2]{\label{fig:IDW2_residual}\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{"Data Analysis Files/IDW2_residual"}}
  \subfloat[RBF]{\label{fig:RBF_residual}\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{"Data Analysis Files/RBF_residual"}}
  \caption{Residual plots of each of the interpolators.}
  \label{fig:residualplot}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

@Leo Liu : it gives a lower case "f" for "figs." - do you know how make it uppercase "F" for consistency with my labelling elsewhere?

Answer 1

Just use \cref or \Cref from cleveref package to reference multiple labels in one command.

For example, \cref{fig1,fig2,fig3} is valid. And use \Cref for capitals.

Answer 2

without package cleveref is must be \ref{..}\ref{...}
