- .SH NAME
- png \- Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an extensible file format for the
- lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG
- provides a patent-free replacement for GIF, and can also replace many
- common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, grayscale, and truecolor images are
- supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from
- 1 to 16 bits.
- .br
- PNG is designed to work well in online viewing applications, such
- as the World Wide Web, so it is fully streamable with a progressive
- display option. PNG is robust, providing both full file integrity
- checking and fast, simple detection of common transmission errors.
- Also, PNG can store gamma and chromaticity data for improved color
- matching on heterogeneous platforms.
