Context will place figures right or left. However Context will not AFAIK fit text to an irregular illustration, or around an arc etc. TheTeXbook describes a very tedious command:
\parshape (p101) which could allow one to fit the lines to an illustration, arc etc. by hand. But the typesetter must calculate the distances beforehand.
Is there a higher level solution in Context?

There is a MetaFun solution in section 10.5 of the MetaFun book as of Jan 9th, 2002.

AHA! I looked it up. If Metafun were a medicine then it would have to bear a warning label. It is instantly addictive. This is more than I hoped for.
Thanks, and I will bury myself in the manual. See you in the Spring :-) John Culleton Able Typesetters & Indexers http://wexfordpress.com
