extent_y This attribute is only meaningful if the foreign data is a metafile. The value indicates the vertical extent of the metafile.
compression_type This attribute is only meaningful if the foreign data is a raster-based foreign object, such as a DIB, JPG, PNG, TIFF, or GIF file. The value indicates the type of compression applied to the file.
compression_level This attribute is only meaningful if the foreign data is a raster-based foreign object, such as a DIB, JPG, PNG, TIFF, or GIF file. The value indicates the level of compression applied to the file. Compression level is measured in hundreds of a percent.
value Contains a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) encoded BLOB of picture data, such as Windows metafile, bitmap, or OLE data.
