NAME

6       mng - Multiple-image Network Graphics (MNG) format
7

DESCRIPTION

9       MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) is the animation extension of the
10       popular PNG image-format. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an  exten‐
11       sible  file  format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage
12       of raster images.
13
14       MNG has advanced animation features which make it very useful as a full
15       replacement  for  GIF  animations. These features allow animations that
16       are impossible with GIF or result in much smaller files as GIF.
17
18       As MNG builds on the same structure as PNG, it  is  robust,  extensible
19       and  free  of patents. It retains the same clever file integrity checks
20       as in PNG.
21
22       MNG also embraces the lossy JPEG image-format  in  a  sub-format  named
23       JNG, which allows for alpha-transparency and color-correction on highly
24       compressed (photographic) images.
