## Description

TGraphicField is the class used when a dataset must manage graphical BLOB data. (TField.DataType equals ftGraphic). It initializes some of the properties of the TField class. All methods to be able to work with graphical BLOB data have been implemented in the TBlobField parent class.

It should never be necessary to create an instance of TGraphicsField manually, a field of this class will be instantiated automatically for each graphical BLOB field when a dataset is opened.
