Document: libpng16 Title: A description on how to use and modify libpng (version 1.5.X) Author: Glenn Randers-Pehrson Abstract: This file describes how to use and modify the PNG reference library (known as libpng) for your own use. There are five sections to this file: introduction, structures, reading, writing, and modification and configuration notes for various special platforms. In addition to this file, example.c is a good starting point for using the library, as it is heavily commented and should include everything most people will need. We assume that libpng is already installed; see the INSTALL file for instructions on how to install libpng. . Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG file format in application programs. The PNG specification is available as RFC 2083 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2083.txt> and as a W3C Recommendation <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-png-multi.html>. Some additional chunks are described in the special-purpose public chunks documents at <ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/>. Other information about PNG, and the latest version of libpng, can be found at the PNG home page, <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/>.
