+/* That's it ;-) Of course you probably want to do more with PNG files than

+ * ask for the image data to be presented in a number of different formats. You
+ * do this by simply changing the 'format' parameter set before allocating the
+ * buffer.
+ *
+ * The format parameter consists of five flags that define various aspects of
+ * the image, you can simply add these together to get the format or you can use
+ * one of the predefined macros from png.h (as above):
+ *
+ * PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_COLOR: if set the image will have three color components per
+ * pixel (red, green and blue), if not set the image will just have one
+ * luminance (grayscale) component.
+ *
+ * PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_ALPHA: if set each pixel in the image will have an additional
+ * alpha value; a linear value that describes the degree the image pixel
+ * covers (overwrites) the contents of the existing pixel on the display.
+ *
+ * PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_LINEAR: if set the components of each pixel will be returned
+ * as a series of 16-bit linear values, if not set the components will be
+ * returned as a series of 8-bit values encoded according to the 'sRGB'
+ * standard. The 8-bit format is the normal format for images intended for
+ * direct display, because almost all display devices do the inverse of the
+ * sRGB transformation to the data they receive. The 16-bit format is more
+ * common for scientific data and image data that must be further processed;
+ * because it is linear simple math can be done on the component values.
+ * Regardless of the setting of this flag the alpha channel is always linear,
+ * although it will be 8 bits or 16 bits wide as specified by the flag.
+ *
+ * PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_BGR: if set the components of a color pixel will be returned
+ * in the order blue, then green, then red. If not set the pixel components
+ * are in the order red, then green, then blue.
+ *
+ * PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_AFIRST: if set the alpha channel (if present) precedes the
+ * color or grayscale components. If not set the alpha channel follows the
+ * components.
+ *
+ * You do not have to read directly from a file. You can read from memory or,
+ * on systems that support it, from a <stdio.h> FILE*. This is controlled by
+ * the particular png_image_read_from_ function you call at the start. Likewise
+ * on write you can write to a FILE* if your system supports it. Check the
+ * macro PNG_STDIO_SUPPORTED to see if stdio support has been included in your
+ * libpng build.
+ *
+ * If you read 16-bit (PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_LINEAR) data you may need to write it in
+ * the 8-bit format for display. You do this by setting the convert_to_8bit
+ * flag to 'true'.
+ *
+ * Don't repeatedly convert between the 8-bit and 16-bit forms. There is
+ * significant data loss when 16-bit data is converted to the 8-bit encoding and
+ * the current libpng implementation of convertion to 16-bit is also
+ * significantly lossy. The latter will be fixed in the future, but the former
+ * is unavoidable - the 8-bit format just doesn't have enough resolution.
