Where do you think the confusion would come from?

As I said one of the goals of this control would eventually be to 
replace the image object - so at some point (all being well) you will be 
able to do:

   set the filename of <insertcontrolname> "foo" to "foo.png"
   set the filename of <insertcontrolname> "foo" to "foo.gif"
   set the filename of <insertcontrolname> "foo" to "foo.jpg"
   set the filename of <insertcontrolname> "foo" to "foo.png"
   ...

Or

   set the content of <insertcontrolname> "foo" to tPngData
   ...

At this point, describing the control as a 'vectorImage' might also seem 
confusing.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
