NAME

       png - Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format

DESCRIPTION

       PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG pro-
       vides 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.

       PNG  is designed to work well in online viewing applications, such as the World Wide Web, so it is fully streamable with a progressive dis-
       play 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.
