I use "high" in combination with zero spacing afterwards, in order to tighten the text flowing around the figure. Compare the two variants below. (I confess to not knowing the difference between "sidespaceafter" and "spaceafter," but both seem to have the same effect.)
\starttext {\setupfloats[sidespaceafter=0pt] \hrule \placefigure[right,high]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4.3cm]{}} \input knuth } \vskip1cm \hrule \placefigure[right,high]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4.3cm]{}} \input knuth \stoptext ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
