If fFmtOnly is false, then an IMDATA record, which contains the picture itself, follows the PICF record. If fFmtOnly is true, which occurs only if the parent DATAFORMAT record refers to a single data point, then there is no IMDATA record following the PICF record. In this case, the picture specified for the entire series is used, with formatting specified by the PICF record. For more information about the IMDATA record, see IMDATA.

If fFmtOnly is false, then an IMDATA record, which contains the picture itself, follows the PICF record. If fFmtOnly is true, which occurs only if the parent DATAFORMAT record refers to a single data point, then there is no IMDATA record following the PICF record. In this case, the picture specified for the entire series is used, with formatting specified by the PICF record. For more information about the IMDATA record, see IMDATA.
