		<p>In addition to the normal protocols like file:// or http://

		lying inside the resource system within an Office context:

			<li>private:resource/projectshortname/bitmap/12345</li>
			<li>private:resource/projectshortname/bitmapex/12345</li>
			<li>private:resource/projectshortname/image/12345</li>
			<li>private:resource/projectshortname/imagelist/12345</li>
			<li>private:resource/projectshortname/imagelist/12345/12</li>
		</ul>

            <ul> <li>vnd.sun.star.GraphicObject:10000000000001940000012FB99807BD</li> </ul>
              can be used to access graphics held by the GraphicCache implementation. 
        </p>

        <p>Yet more, you can access graphics in the application-wide image
        repository by specifying URLs of the form
        <code>private:graphicrepository/<em>&lt;path_in_repository&gt;</em></code>.
