Does the browser support images of non-rectangular shapes, if at all they exist?

If you can do such rounded pictures or special shape picture, just 
tell 
us which is the software you are using.
The only kind of picture supported are rectangular. You can give some 
map rounded shape but you cannot create round picture.

Frederik? You`re aware of transparent GIFs?
Just to play safe, you're not talking about physical, but meaning 
optical shapes...

here's a lovely article I found that nicely gives a solution to this 
problem:
http://www.bigbaer.com/css_tutorials/css.image.text.wrap.htm
it won't work very nicely with images which change.. ideally one day 
we might be able to wrap text based on the outer transparent edge of 
photos, but for now, this is a really good solution.
