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?
