[OS X TeX] How to Insert Graphics Using TeXShop?

[Zachary Davis]

I have been able to successfully center the .eps files in my document, 
but a couple more questions have arisen.  First, the figures in my 
document don't seem to be integrated into the text of the document.  The 
figures seem to be placed at the end of the document, which is 
undesired.  Secondly, with the \caption{} command I get a label Figure 
1: plus whatever I put within the braces {}.  My first question in 
regards to this would be is there a way to decrease the vertical spacing 
between the actual figure and the Figure caption itself?  Secondly, is 
there a way to have the numbering so that I can have Figure 2.1, rather 
than Figure 1?

Thanks,
