title: How to number floats in LaTeX consistently?
body: <p>I have a LaTeX document where I'd like the numbering of floats (tables and figures) to be in one numeric sequence from 1 to x rather than two sequences according to their type. I'm not using lists of figures or tables either and do not need to.</p>
  
  <p>My documentclass is report and typically my floats have captions like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\caption{Breakdown of visualisations created.}
  \label{tab:Visualisation_By_Types}
  </code></pre>
