All,

On page 182 of Lamport's "Latex, A Document Preparation System," one can
find a picture of the layout of a latex style, with all of the various
parameters (topmargin, headheight, etc) clearly indicated in the figure.

Is there such a thing available in Context?

Yes, I am aware of \showframe, \showlayout, but these don't actually
indicate on the picture what each parameter represents, though most are
intuitive. Still, it would be helpful to have such a layout as that in
Lamport's book.
