Hi All,
Can someone please explain how the following statement set the layout of the page in my document:

\usepackage{layout}
\setlength{\floatsep}{4pt plus 2pt minus 2pt}

this \setlength is mysterious to me.

thanks in advance

\floatsep determines the vertical space left between floats, that means for instance between two figure or table environments.
\setlength sets this space to a value of 4pt, allowing it to be stretched or shrinked by 2pt if necessary.
