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

[Zachary Davis]

Ross,

Thanks, for the advice you provided.  A lot of what you offered isn't 
something you can find in books, but greatly aids in typesetting a 
document.  I still seem to be getting some floats where I would rather 
they not be.  I have some figures that are placed at the end of the 
document even after new sections have been declared.  All of the figures 
in my document have been declared as suggested:

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics{filename.eps}
\caption{figure caption here}
\label{fig-label}
\end{figure}

Unfortunately, the [h] label didn't seem to place the floats where they 
were declared in the source file, and kept skipping over segments of 
text (complete sections) until they were placed in the next free page.  
I've tried adjusting the spacing between floats on a page, the 
textwidth, textheight, etc. to see what I could control by altering 
each.  However, the placement of figures is still less than would be 
desired.

It would seem to me that one would be able to have a bit more control 
over the placement of figures in LaTeX documents.  Manually placing each 
figures using the coordinate control sequence seems a bit confusing to 
me, and I'm not sure it will help matters much.  Perhaps, I just haven't 
mastered enough of the mark-up language to have the control over objects 
in a document that I desire.  Anyway, I appreciate all of your help.
