Hello Ralph, The basic problem is to split the lines into a lot of segments of different lengths -- pasting the segments into place would then be possible. The solution to the centred picture is to make the line length equal to the left/right margin, and paste each with one-line traps (or the diversion trap). In the more general case the .ll request does not take effect in time. The parshape command of TeX could do that, but I don't know TeX well enough to know if the individual lines could be moved around.
