+/** specifies the model of a control used for displaying images stored in a database.
+
+    <p>As every com::sun::star::form::DataAwareControlModel, an image control
+    can be bound to a database field. This means that for instance with every record change, the content
+    of the database field is taken, interpreted as image, and displayed in the control.<br>
+    Unlike other more text-based controls, it does not interpret the content of the field as text or double,
+    but as binary stream (see com::sun::star::sdb::XColumn::getBinaryStream()).</p>
+
+    <p>Usually, an image control model can be bound to binary columns only, namely
+    com::sun::star::sdbc::DataType::BINARY,
+    com::sun::star::sdbc::DataType::VARBINARY,
+    com::sun::star::sdbc::DataType::LONGVARBINARY,
+    com::sun::star::sdbc::DataType::OTHER,
+    com::sun::star::sdbc::DataType::LONGVARCHAR</p>
+
+    </p>
+
+    <p>Note that besides taking the image to be displayed from the bound field, there is another option. The
+    com::sun::star::awt::UnoControlImageControlModel::ImageURL property specifies
+    the URL of an image to be displayed. If this property is changed from outside, the respective file
+    is loaded and set as image source.</p>
+
+    <p>In a usual data form, the scenario will be as follows:
+        <ul><li>There is a DatabaseImageControl as part of the document model, which acts as
+                control model for a com::sun::star::form::control::ImageControl.</li>
+
+            <li>The control is a com::sun::star::awt::XImageConsumer for the
+                com::sun::star::awt::XImageProducer supplied by the model.</li>
+
+            <li>Whenever the form's cursor is positioned on a new record, the column the control
+                model is bound to is examined for a binary data stream. This stream is set as source
+                at the image producer, which notifies it's consumers, which leads to the control
+                displaying the image.</li>
+
+            <li>When the user by some interaction tells the control to contain a new image, this is
+                exchanged by URL. For example, implementations of the control service may allow the user
+                to browse for image. After this, the URL of the image is set as
+                com::sun::star::awt::UnoControlImageControlModel::ImageURL
+                property at the model.<br>
+                Now the control loads the image determined by the property value, and starts producing
+                a new data stream, which is displayed by the control (which is a consumer for this stream).<br>
+                From now on, the control and thus the database record counts as modified. If the cursor of the
+                form is moved further, the modified record is saved, means the content of the image pointed to
+                by com::sun::star::awt::UnoControlImageControlModel::ImageURL
+                is saved into the column.</li>
+        </ul>
