Here I'll put a figure after a line break:

\ig{width=1in}{fig.eps}

\pause

Here I'll put text then a figure:\ig{width=1in}{fig.eps}


Notice that it doesn't fit nicely.

\pause

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
Here's a better way:

\vspace{5ex}

\begin{minipage}{3in}
This is a very interesting figure which I can comment about in a
{\tt minipage} environment. Notice it is nicely aligned
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{1in}
\ig{width=1in}{fig.eps}
\end{minipage}
