  3. mng \- Multiple-image Network Graphics (MNG) format
  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.
  9. .br
  10. MNG has advanced animation features which make it very useful as a full
  11. replacement for GIF animations. These features allow animations that
  12. are impossible with GIF or result in much smaller files as GIF.
  13. As MNG builds on the same structure as PNG, it is robust, extensible and
  14. free of patents. It retains the same clever file integrity checks as in PNG.
  15. MNG also embraces the lossy JPEG image-format in a sub-format named JNG,
  16. which allows for alpha-transparency and color-correction on highly
  17. compressed (photographic) images.
