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 replacement for GIF animations.
       These features allow animations that are impossible 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 compressed (photographic) images.
