Hello David, this is far from perfect, but perhaps worth a tryout: -------------------------------------------------- \setupcolors[state=start] \setuptyping [before={\startframedtext[width=\localhsize,background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.8]}, after={\stopframedtext}, color=darkred] \starttext \startbuffer
x=linspace(-2,4); y=x.^2-2*x-3; plot(x,y) xlabel('x') ylabel('y') title('y = x^2 -2x -3') grid on \stopbuffer
\typebuffer % test \placesidebyside{% \framed[align={lohi,right}, frame=on, offset=10pt, background=screen, screen=0.8, width=.5\textwidth, strut=no, foregroundcolor=darkred]{\typebuffer}} {\framed[frame=off,width=.5\textwidth]{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=4cm,height=4cm]}} \stoptext -------------------------------------------------- Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
