This is explained in detail by Kopka and Daly.  They include some nice
examples and layout diagrams with the spacing variables.  Please save
yourself a lot of time and go get a copy.  If money is an issue, use the
library (or inter-library loan).  I'd lend you my copy, but I'm working
on a paper right now and need to refer to it.  Its a great tutorial and
reference.
