The BitmapObject class represents objects that are bitmaps. The bitmaps can be either two-color or full-color. You can display bitmap objects in image fields, image trim fields, buttons, toggles, and palette fields. They can also be used as background patterns for any form field, including the form itself.

OpenROAD defines attributes and methods for BitmapObjects that let you read images from files and the database or to write or update images in the database or files. Bitmap objects let you move arbitrarily sized, portable images into and within a database with minimum programming effort.

For information about using bitmap images in an application, see the Programming Guide.
