The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005.SH DESCRIPTION
6PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an extensible file format for the
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01007lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG
8provides a patent-free replacement for GIF, and can also replace many
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08009common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, grayscale, and truecolor images are
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +010010supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800111 to 16 bits.
12.br
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +010013PNG is designed to work well in online viewing applications, such
14as the World Wide Web, so it is fully streamable with a progressive
15display option. PNG is robust, providing both full file integrity
16checking and fast, simple detection of common transmission errors.
17Also, PNG can store gamma and chromaticity data for improved color
18matching on heterogeneous platforms.
