Thank you all! I guess I can reduce the flow cases to <10 and use \parshape directly; thinking in lines looks a bit easier than the MetaPost way. Calculating the MP path from the TIFF alpha channel would be interesting, but is way above my head. I guess it would work like: * preprocessing: - find the outer contour of the image (after some threshold value of color value or alpha channel) - simplify and vectorize that (I remember there were different OS tools/libraries used with FontForge or Inkscape) - convert this outline (SVG or EPS I guess) into MP * within the ConTeXt run: - place the (scaled) picture - preliminary page/paragraph breaking to find where there might be overlaps - calculate the fitting paragraph shape (rectangle minus overlapping part of the scaled outline) - probably some new line/paragraph breaking?

Re: [NTG-context] text flowing around images
For LaTeX there is a tool called fig2sty which can take an XFig figure and transform it into a LaTeX sty file.

Ahoi, in my current project I must include a bunch of illustrations in my layout, and the text should flow around their irregular shapes (side placement in single text column only). I got the pictures as TIFFs with alpha channel, but of course I can change that.
