| 4 | .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.

|
|---|
| 11 | 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.
