[Tex/LaTex] Cross reference of Table, Figure etc

cross-referencing

Preparing APS manuscripts, it is required that when "Table, Figure" appear at the beginning of a sentence, they should appear in their full form, otherwise, in abbreviated form as "Tab., Fig.".

Using \ref{} one needs to decide and type the referred names by hand; on the other hand, using \autoref{}, which though automatically brings the referred names, it can not, as far as I know, tell whether the names appear at the beginning of a sentence or not.

So, is there an automated way to meet the above-mentioned requirement, instead of everytime inputting by hand?

As long as in \nonfrenchspacing you can fork depending on the \spacefactor:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}%
\makeatletter
\newcommand\sfcodefork{%
  \ifnum\the\spacefactor=1000 \expandafter\@firstoftwo\else\expandafter\@secondoftwo\fi
}%
\renewcommand\figureautorefname{\sfcodefork{Fig.\texorpdfstring{\null}{}}{Figure}}
\renewcommand\tableautorefname{\sfcodefork{Tab.\texorpdfstring{\null}{}}{Table}}

\makeatother

\begin{document}

\nonfrenchspacing

\section{A section}

\begin{figure}%
\rule{1cm}{1cm}%
\caption{caption of figure.}\label{label of figure}%
\end{figure}%

\begin{table}%
\begin{tabular}{ll}
left&right\\
\end{tabular}
\caption{caption of table.}\label{label of table}%
\end{table}%

References at beginning of sentence:
\autoref{label of figure} is referenced.
\autoref{label of table} is referennced. 

We can refer \autoref{label of figure} in the middle of a sentence.

[Tex/LaTex] Caption in figure and cross-reference them properly

I suggest you load the subcaption package, which provides an environment called subfigure. I further suggest you load the cleveref package to help streamline making cross-references to items such as subfigures.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{subcaption} % provides 'subfigure' environment
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx} % omit 'demo' option in real document
\usepackage[capitalize]{cleveref} % for "clever" cross-referencing
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}

\begin{subfigure}{0.475\textwidth}
  \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{fig1}
  \caption{First subfigure} \label{fig:1a}
\end{subfigure}\hfill% leave no blank line between subfigures
\begin{subfigure}{0.475\textwidth}
  \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{fig2}
  \caption{Second subfigure} \label{fig:1b}
\end{subfigure}

\caption{A figure with two subfigures} \label{fig:1}

\end{figure}

\noindent
A cross-reference to \cref{fig:1b}.
\end{document}

Addendum: If you don't need to cross-reference the subfigures individually, and if you're fine with providing a long caption that describes the contents of the two image files, there's certainly no need to load the subcaption package or to place the image files in minipage environments.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx} % omit 'demo' option in real document
\usepackage[capitalize]{cleveref} % for "clever" cross-referencing
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}

\includegraphics[width=0.475\textwidth]{fig1}
\hfill
\includegraphics[width=0.475\textwidth]{fig2}

\caption{Left-hand panel: taghyer jabejaei, $R$ is the reference configuration and $D$ is the deformed configuration. Right-hand panel: Salam Khub hasti density $\mathbf{f}$ agr bashe en ro dorost kard force density $\mathbf{t}$ at both points} \label{fig:m}
\end{figure}

\noindent
A cross-reference to \cref{fig:m}.
