Judson's Notes

Here is code to include a simple figure:

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=4in]{./part2.eps}
\caption[caption text here for list of figs]{plot of y vs subject by treatment}
\label{fig7}
\end{figure}

The figure placement is specified by:

\begin{figure}[placement specifier]
... figure contents ... 
\end{figure}

Placement Specifiers:
h Place the float here, i.e., at the same point it occurs in the source text.
t Position at the top of the page.
b Position at the bottom of the page.
p Put on a special page for floats only.
! Override internal parameters Latex uses for determining `good' float positions.

When using the graphicx package, all figures should be in true (ie, vector graphics) eps format.  Png, tif, etc can be used, but a bounding box may have to be defined such as:

\includegraphics[bb=0 0 640 480,height=2.1in]{./fig/fig1.eps}

If figures are appearing in the DVI file but not in the pdf, be sure to make the ps file first ("dvi2ps") and then converting the postscript file to pdf via Adobe
