According to http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf (page 16ff.) it is perfectly okay to do the way I did.
That's what the directive btlr is for: flush from bottom to top and left to right.
It's a documented feature, and it's not working properly (at least from what I see). I call this a bug.
Yes can be but I don't mix code from chapter Graphics with code from chapter Areas, so until now my code has worked as expected. (I usually work with Area, so this is why I 've said that 1.95\textwidth is non-sense) This works for example in mkiv and mkii ,so I suspect some not-so-good interaction between Area and Chapter, but I still disagree to call it a bug because typesetting in columns is always hard in TeX, so maybe it's a feature that you need but it's not still implemented . Of course more examples can be usefuls in this sense. \setupbodyfont[ss,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=2.6ex] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[backspace=2cm,width=middle, offset=0mm, topspace=0cm,height=middle, location=middle, ] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuptolerance[tolerant,verytolerant] \definefloat[grafik] \setupcaption[grafik][number=no,location=bottom] \definecolumnset[ergebnisse][n=3] %\definecolumnsetarea %[title][left] %[x=1,y=1,nx=6,ny=42,page=2,state=start] \starttext \startcolumnset[ergebnisse] \definecolumnsethsize{ergebnisse}{1}{2}\Two \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte} \placegrafik[btlr]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][lines=19,width=1.95\textwidth]} \subject{Victoria Beckham pregnant again!} Barack Obama is the father!
