| 2 .SH NAME |
| 3 png \- Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format |
| 4 .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 5 PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an extensible file format for the |
| 6 lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG provides |
| 7 a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many |
| 8 common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, grayscale, and truecolor images are |
| 9 supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from |
| 10 1 to 16 bits. |
| 11 .br |
| 12 |
| 13 PNG is designed to work well in online viewing applications, such as the |
| 14 World Wide Web, so it is fully streamable with a progressive display |
| 15 option. PNG is robust, providing both full file integrity checking and |
| 16 fast, simple detection of common transmission errors. Also, PNG can store |
| 17 gamma and chromaticity data for improved color matching on heterogeneous |
| 18 platforms. |
