NAME¶
mng - Multiple-image Network Graphics (MNG) format
DESCRIPTION¶
MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) is the animation extension of the popular
PNG image-format. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an extensible file format
for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images.
MNG has advanced animation features which make it very useful as a full
replacement for GIF animations. These features allow animations that are
impossible with GIF or result in much smaller files as GIF.
As MNG builds on the same structure as PNG, it is robust, extensible and free of
patents. It retains the same clever file integrity checks as in PNG.
MNG also embraces the lossy JPEG image-format in a sub-format named JNG, which
allows for alpha-transparency and color-correction on highly compressed
(photographic) images.
