There are a few ways to do this. \noheaderandfooterlines does literally just that on the page on which it is called. What I tend to do is slightly more involved - I set up a landscape layout at the same time as I'm setting up the normal portrait one, using \definelayout, and then I switch to that layout using \setuplayout when I'm doing a landscape figure or table. This has two advantages - it gives you much more control over the page layout for your landscape pages, and it encourages most viewers to display those pages in landscape, making proofs much more readable online.

Hello

Is it possible to suppress the headline on pages which are entirely occupied by an illustration?  This is sometimes useful to maximize the space available for the picture, especially a landscape picture with a lot of detail.

I have used 'orientation=270' to position a figure in landscape mode, with the width set to the vertical height of the page (or close to it if that would make the overall size too large).  But I haven't worked out how to set the caption underneath the figure (that is, rotate the caption also, using the full width of the figure):   the caption appears at the bottom of the page as for a portrait-oriented figure, which is inconvenient for the reader.
