PNG Metadata Format Specification
</h1></center>

<p>

The PNG native format encodes the complete contents of a PNG file
chunk by chunk, except for the IDAT chunks that contain the actual
image data.  Chunks that are not defined in the PNG 1.2 specification
are stored under the <code>UnknownChunks</code> element.  Note that it
is the responsibility of application software to implement the rules
for PNG readers, writers, and editors (<i>e.g.</i>, the rules
concerning unsafe-to-copy chunks) described in the PNG specification.
The Image I/O library is not, in and of itself, a PNG reader, writer,
or editor in the sense of the specification.  Rather, it is a tool
that may be used to build PNG readers, writers, and editors.

<p>

The image's actual width, height, bit depth, and color type will
override any values passed to the writer via metadata, with one
exception.  If the image has an <code>IndexColorModel</code>, the
color table entries will be checked to determine if they form a
uniform grayscale ramp. If so, the image will normally be encoded
using as grayscale instead of palette color.  However, if the color
type set in the metadata is "Palette", palette color will be used.

<p>
 
If no metadata is supplied when encoding an image, the header is
initialized from the image being encoded, and no optional chunks are
included.

<p>

The semantics of the standard chunks are described in the <A
HREF="http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/spec/">PNG specification</A>.
Note that there are some restrictions on which chunks may appear
for each color type. In particular,

<ul>
  <li>A <code>PLTE</code> chunk may not appear in a <code>Gray</code>
or <code>GrayAlpha</code> image

  <li><code>hIST</code> and <code>tRNS</code> chunks require a prior
<code>PLTE</code> chunk

  <li>A <code>tRNS</code> chunk may not appear in
<code>GrayAlpha</code> and <code>RGBA</code> images
</ul>

The child nodes of the <code>bKGD</code>, <code>sBIT</code>, and
<code>tRNS</code> chunks must match the image's color type.

<p> 

Certain chunks may meaningfully appear multiple times in a PNG file,
in particular the text-related chunks.  In order to simplify the
metadata format, multiple instances of these chunks are consolidated
under a single parent node (<i>e.g.</i>, the <code>tEXt</code> node),
which may have zero or more children (<i>e.g.</i>,
<code>tEXtEntry</code> nodes).  If no children are present, no chunk
will be written.  Similarly, unknown chunks are stored as children of
a single <code>UnknownChunks</code> node.

<p>

It is not possible to control the ordering of the chunks as they are
written, or to determine the order of the chunks in a file being read.
