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.
