[OS X TeX] wrapfig query

[Claus Gerhardt]

I did it once myself; first, by using the package wrapfig, but the  
placement was very unstable, so that I dediced to use two minipages  
one for the figure and one for the text. This was very satisfactory.  
On the other hand I really doubt that result is worth the trouble.  
Why can't a figure be sitting alone in the center with text above or  
below. I guess our judgement of what is beautiful is biased by the  
fact that wrapping text around a figure is supposed to be technically  
difficult.
