One if the interesting topics in SharePoint customizations is developing customized list definitions to be integrated later on within you site definitions.During list definitions development you are required to determine two important values "Type" and "BaseType", following is a description for the available types (available in the WSS SDK)

Type:

Value   Description

100   Generic list

101   Document library

102   Survey

103   Links list

104   Announcements list

105   Contacts list

106   Events list

107   Tasks list

108   Discussion board

109   Picture library

110   Data sources

111   Site template gallery

113   Web Part gallery

114  List template gallery

115  XML Form library

120  Custom grid for a list

200  Meeting Series list

201  Meeting Agenda list

202  Meeting Attendees list

204  Meeting Decisions list

207  Meeting Objectives list

210  Meeting text box

211  Meeting Things To Bring list

212  Meeting Workspace Pages list

300   Portal Sites list.

1100  Issue tracking

2002  Personal document library

2003  Private document library

BaseType

0 – Custom List

1 – Document Library

2 – Not used

3 – Discussion Forum

4 – Surveys

5 – Issues List

so, if you are developing custom picture library set Type="109" and BaseType="1" (because picture library mainly based on document library)

another example if your are developing custom Calendar list definition set Type="100" BaseType="0".

hope it is useful ciao
