.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
5 |
MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) is the animation extension of the
|
|
|
6 |
popular PNG image-format. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an
|
|
|
7 |
extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed
|
|
|
8 |
storage of raster images.

MNG has advanced animation features which make it very useful as a full
|
|
|
12 |
replacement for GIF animations. These features allow animations that
|
|
|
13 |
are impossible with GIF or result in much smaller files as GIF.
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
As MNG builds on the same structure as PNG, it is robust, extensible and
|
|
|
16 |
free of patents. It retains the same clever file integrity checks as in PNG.
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
MNG also embraces the lossy JPEG image-format in a sub-format named JNG,
|
|
|
19 |
which allows for alpha-transparency and color-correction on highly
|
|
|
20 |
compressed (photographic) images.
