Description : Pure Python PNG Reader/Writer
The PyPNG module implements support for PNG images. It reads and writes
PNG files with all allowable bit depths (1/2/4/8/16/24/32/48/64 bits per
pixel) and colour combinations: greyscale (1/2/4/8/16 bit); RGB, RGBA, LA
(greyscale with alpha) with 8/16 bits per channel; colour mapped images
(1/2/4/8 bit). Adam7 interlacing is supported for reading and writing.
A number of optional chunks can be specified (when writing) and understood
(when reading): tRNS, bKGD, gAMA.
PyPNG is not a high level toolkit for image processing (like PIL) and does
not aim at being a replacement or competitor. Its strength lies in
fine-grained extensive support of PNG features. It can also read and write
Netpbm PAM files, with a focus on its use as an intermediate format for
implementing custom PNG processing.
