this is regarding the placement of figure. I find it a herculean task in latex. I have certain doubts regarding this, which are as follows:

 

1) which format is better eps or ps? --- personally i have found the quality of ps figures better than the eps format. Despite the low quality of eps format, I have observed one positive point of using eps file format ---  the placement of eps figures is flexible. one can actually place the figure at the top, center or bottom of page. however, in ps format, by default it is aligned at the top of the page.

 

2) can the plaement of ps figures be aligned at the middle or bottom of page. I am able to do that by using \vspace{ } before the includegraphics but at times the generated pdf document gives the space above it as a complete blank. actually, the text should get automatically adjusted as per the figure placement.
