% The first parameter is the label, which is also the name of the figure
% with or without the extension (e.g., .eps, .fig, .png, .gif, etc.)
% IF NO EXTENSION IS GIVEN, LaTeX will look for the most appropriate one.
% This means that if a DVI (or PS) is being produced, it will look for
% an eps. If a PDF is being produced, it will look for nearly anything
% else (gif, jpg, png, et cetera). Because of this, when I generate figures
% I typically generate an eps and a png to allow me the most flexibility
% when rendering my document.
% The second parameter is the width of the figure normalized to column width
% (e.g. 0.5 for half a column, 0.75 for 75% of the column)
% The third parameter is the caption.
