Hi!

I think you search for something like this:

\def\ChapterTop#1#2% bottom-aligned
  {\framed[width=broad,offset=overlay]
    {\framed[width=2in,height=2in]{GRAPHIC}\hfill
     \framed[align=right]{#1\blank[2*big]#2}}}

\definetext[ChapterFoot][footer][pagenumber]

\setuphead
  [chapter]
  [command=\ChapterTop,
   header=high,
   footer=ChapterFoot,
   numberstyle=\ssbid,
   textstyle=\ssbfd]

\starttext  \showframe
\dorecurse{3}{\chapter{First Chapter}\dorecurse{5}{\input tufte}}
\stoptext

Greetings
	Andreas

Re: First page of chapter

[Tom]

That works. Now I have to figure out how to insert the picture in the place
marked GRAPHIC, get rid of all the boxes and get the page number to print on
the bottom of the first page of the chapter.

Subject: Re: [NTG-context] First page of chapter

I am struggling with getting the first pages of my chapters laid out as
desired. What I want on the top third of the page is a roughly 2 inch square
graphic on the left with the chapter number and chapter title on the right
in large print. The following chunk errors out as shown but works when
hard-coded.  Am I headed off in the wrong direction by trying to use columns
in this way? Previously, I tried treating the chapter number and title as
text with startfiguretext. It works but I can't format the chapter titles to
fit properly. Any suggestions for a ConTeXt beginner?

First page of chapter

[Tom]

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1052 bytes --]

I am struggling with getting the first pages of my chapters laid out as
desired. What I want on the top third of the page is a roughly 2 inch square
graphic on the left with the chapter number and chapter title on the right
in large print. The following chunk errors out as shown but works when
hard-coded.  Am I headed off in the wrong direction by trying to use columns
in this way? Previously, I tried treating the chapter number and title as
text with startfiguretext. It works but I can't format the chapter titles to
fit properly. Any suggestions for a ConTeXt beginner?
