# Using Images and Image-Related Objects

There are two main types of graphic images available for your forms—static bitmap images, which you insert directly into your forms, and placeable bitmaps, which are loaded from an image file in the end-user environment at run time. Closely related to placeable bitmaps are signature fields, barcode fields, and circle fields:

- Signature fields are graphic fields for electronically captured signatures.

- Barcode fields are fields that can be used to place scanable barcodes for loan numbers, IDs, etc., on a form.

- Circle fields are used to circle user choices. When a user makes a selection from a group of items, a circle appears around the item.

Although they place graphic images on the form instead of text, signature fields, placeable bitmap fields, barcode fields, and circle fields are still considered data fields and are, like standard data fields, identified by data ID and description.
