-<h3>Vertical layout of float pages</h3>
-<p/>By default, LaTeX vertically centres the floats on a float page;
-the present author is not alone in not liking this arrangement.
-Unfortunately, the control of the positioning is &#8220;buried&#8221; in
-LaTeX-internal commands, so some care is needed to change the
-layout.
-<p/>Float pages use three LaTeX lengths (i.e., TeX skips) to define
-their layout:
-<dl>
-<dt><code>\</code><code>@fptop</code><dd> defines the distance from the
- top of the page to the top of the first float,
-<dt><code>\</code><code>@fpsep</code><dd> defines the separation between
- floats, and
-<dt><code>\</code><code>@fpbot</code><dd> defines the distance from the
- bottom of the last float on the page to the bottom of the page.
-</dl>
-(In fact, the output routine places a skip of <code>\</code><code>@fpsep</code> above each float, so
-the <code>\</code><code>@fptop</code> skip is always followed by a correction for that.)
-<p/><p/>The LaTeX defaults are:
-<blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>@fptop</code> = <code>0pt + 1fil</code><br>
- <code>\</code><code>@fpsep</code> = <code>8pt + 2fil</code><br>
- <code>\</code><code>@fpbot</code> = <code>0pt + 1fil</code><br>
-</blockquote><p>
-so that the gaps expand to fill the space not occupied by floats, but
-if there is more than one float on the page, the gap between them will
-expand to twice the space at top and bottom.
-<p/>Those who understand this stuff will be able to play elaborate games,
-but the commonest requirement, that the floats start at the top of the
-page, is a simple thing to do:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\makeatletter
-\setlength{\@fptop}{0pt}
-\makeatother
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-Surprisingly, you may find this setting leaves your floats too high on
-the page. One can justify a value of <code>5pt</code> (in place of
-<code>0pt</code>) &#8212; it&#8217;s roughly the difference between <code>\</code><code>topskip</code>
-and the height of normal (<code>10pt</code>) text.
-<p/>Note that this is a &#8220;global&#8221; setting (best established in a class
-file, or at worst in the document preamble); making the change for a
-single float page is likely (at the least) to be rather tricky.
