MNG(5)			       File Formats Manual			  MNG(5)

NAME
     mng - 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 re-
     placement for GIF animations. These features allow animations that are  im-
     possible 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  com-
     pressed (photographic) images.
