Hello Matthias

I'm still very inexperienced with Context - and will probably have to start
again since I've been busy with other matters recently and have forgotten
nearly everything - but the following clumsy code might work until some
Contexpert comes up with a proper solution:

Can the \im{12\times 9} rectangle be tiled with
the\llap{\externalfigure[cow] [width=0pt,height=0pt,label={Here we have a
picture of a cow}]} \externalfigure[cow.pdf][inline]{}-hexomino?

If it is any good at all, it could be condensed into a cs such as:

\intextlabel{Here we have a picture of a cow}

(the cow figure could remain since it's always available and is only used
to create an invisible (zero width and height) graphic).


Best wishes

John
