6 mng - Multiple-image Network Graphics (MNG) format
7
9 MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) is the animation extension of the
10 popular PNG image-format. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an extenâ
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.
