\chapter{Float Boxes with Foots: Variants of Layout}

In this sample file are gathered plain float environments and float rows
with usage of all predefined base float styles. You may try to run this document
with \texttt{shadowbox} frame: uncomment line with \verb|\usepackage{fr-fancy}|
at the preamble and lines below.

The default vertical alignment of float objects is centered.
To change alignment to top edge you may say:
\begin{verbatim}
\floatsetup{valign=t}
\end{verbatim}
like in current sample.
Keys are analogous to option of vertical alignment in minipage and \verb|\parbox|:
\texttt{t}---for top alignment, \texttt{c}---for center alignment,
\texttt{b}---for bottom alignment, and \texttt{s}---to stretch float object material
to full height.

\emph{Note}. All float styles with frames get \verb|frameset={\fboxsep7.5pt}|
to get more visible differences between fitted and non-fitted frames.

%%%aligns float objects by top
\floatsetup{valign=t}
