I'm not very experienced with LaTeX and I'm having trouble when trying to define a macro to include some images. I want to do it this way because I'm trying to take notes using LaTeX and I need to type it quickly. The macro is:

\newcommand{\capeps}[3]{\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center} 
\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{./figures/#1.eps}
\caption{#2} 
\label{fig:#3} 
\end{center} 
\end{figure}}

but I can't make it recognize the label. Do you know what's the problem with this?

Works like a charm for me. Maybe you could include a minimal working example (MWE)? – Silex Oct 26 '12 at 19:04

What @Silex said! Besides: you might want to replace the center environment with \centering. Welcome to TeX.sx! – cgnieder Oct 26 '12 at 19:06
What is your parameter of \ref? For \capeps{xxx}{yyy}{zzz} it has to be \ref{fig:zzz} and not just \ref{zzz}. – Qrrbrbirlbel Oct 26 '12 at 20:34
thank you for the answers, I didn't expected to be so quick :) Well, it kind of work for me, but when I use the label I get "??" instead of the reference number. – German Oct 26 '12 at 20:37
ohh, your are right. My error was in the \ref part, the macro was good. Thank you very much. – German Oct 26 '12 at 20:54
