MNG(5)MNG(5)NAMEmng - 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.
