Short: Multiple-image Network Graphics library Author: Gerard Juyn, Glenn Randers-Pehrson, Ilkka Lehtoranta (ilkleht@isoveli.org) Uploader: Ilkka Lehtoranta (ilkleht isoveli org) Type: util/libs Version: 2.0 Requires: util/libs/littlecms_user.lha Architecture: ppc-morphos This is MorphOS port of libmng. It is based on libmng 1.0.10 (13th July 2007). System requirements ------------------- * MorphOS 2 or MorphOS 1 with Update Pack v1.0 * littlecms.library V3 Version history --------------- mng.library version 2.0: * fixed bug in library startup code * now requires littlecms.library V3 as minimum mng.library version 1.1: * fixed bug in auto-open libraries (developers only) * optimised library code mng.library version 1.0: * first public release MNG features: * object or sprite-based approach to animation, with commands to move, copy and paste images (rather than replicate them as in GIF) * nested loops for complex animations * way better compression than GIF animations * support for difference (or "delta") images for still better compression * integration of both PNG and JPEG-based ("JNG") images * support for transparent JPEG images * low-complexity and very low-complexity subsets for simpler implementation MNG shares a number of PNG's features: * ultra-clever magic signature that can detect the most common types of file corruption * non-patented compression, either completely lossless (PNG) or lossy (JPEG) * full alpha support (multi-level transparency) for all image objects * gamma and color correction for cross-platform consistency * ability to store copyright and other textual info, either compressed or uncompressed http://www.libmng.com/ http://www.libmng.com/pub/mng/index.html
