- .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.
