--- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
The area fill style is being discussed in the design team. Actually the blog
post with our suggestion is in preparation. So stay tuned.

About the wording: picture, bitmap, image, graphic - that's all the same to me.
Bitmap as Windows Bitmap bmp is not the same as bitmap. Wikipedia reads
similar: 

"Bitmap is a type of memory organization or image file format used to store
digital images.

Bitmap or bit map may also mean the following:

    Bitmap graphics, also known as raster graphics, an image represented by a
generally rectangular grid of pixels (co-sitting points of colors)"

Nonetheless we should take care about consistent wording. My (non-native)
suggestion (inspired by Lazarus/Freepascal):

"graphic": the abstract allocation of pixels in two dimensions
"picture": container for graphics with any pixel format (to avoid confusion the
bitmap goes here as an instance of a picture; alternatively a jpeg, png, etc.
"Load picture" would be correct then.)
"image": visual representation on the screen ("Image properties" would be
correct for tweaking the size rather than picture/bitmap/graphic etc.)
