Dear "seasoul", here are some general remarks (I didn't try if this works at all or not) that are independent of your particular problem: On Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 12:34, seasoul wrote:

I want to setup the space after the figure (caption inclusive), i tried

\setupfloat[figure][spaceafter = mediaum],

- you may not use any space; you would need to write "spaceafter=medium" and not "spaceafter = medium" - medium is misspelled - I suspect that spaceafter is only for setupfloats, not for setupfloat, but I didn't really try or read the source; so maybe \setupfloats[spaceafter=medium] could work

no change after i compile,

then i tried

\setupfloat[figure][after=\blank[big], no change again?

You need to use after={\blank[big]} that is: you need braces, else the closing bracket of big will also close setupfloat. The following is from one of my old documents: \setupformulas [spacebefore=0.6cm,spaceafter=0.6cm] \setupfloats [spacebefore=0.8cm,spaceafter=0.8cm] Mojca
