[OS X TeX] including a graphics file

[Murray Eisenberg]

From the TeXShop Help > TeXShop Help Panel > Basic Help:

	"To use TeXShop, type your LaTeX input in the editing window it provides. 
	Then push the "Typeset" button at the top of the window. The input will be saved and PDFLATEX will run. [emph added]”

With the file plot1.pdf you attached, for me the following source file immediately produces the output shown in the pdf attachment to this message.

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{graphicx}
    
    \begin{document}
    
    \begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[scale=0.8]{plot1}
    \caption{\textbf{Weierstrass's Function}}
    \label{fig:Weierstrass}
    \end{figure}
    
    \end{document}
