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 <ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/> and as a
-W3C Recommendation <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC.png.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 can be found at the PNG home page, <http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png/>.

+The W3C and ISO documents have identical technical content.

Most users will not have to modify the library significantly; advanced
users may want to modify it more. All attempts were made to make it as
majority of the needs of its users.
Libpng uses zlib for its compression and decompression of PNG files.
+Further information about zlib, and the latest version of zlib, can
+be found at the zlib home page, <http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/>.
The zlib compression utility is a general purpose utility that is
useful for more than PNG files, and can be used without libpng.
See the documentation delivered with zlib for more details.
Libpng does not protect itself against two threads using the
same instance of a structure.
-
.SH II. Structures
There are two main structures that are important to libpng, png_struct
PNG file. At one time, the fields of png_info were intended to be
directly accessible to the user. However, this tended to cause problems
with applications using dynamically loaded libraries, and as a result
-a set of interface functions for png_info was developed. The fields
-of png_info are still available for older applications, but it is
-suggested that applications use the new interfaces if at all possible.
+a set of interface functions for png_info (the png_get_*() and png_set_*()
+functions) was developed. The fields of png_info are still available for
+older applications, but it is suggested that applications use the new
+interfaces if at all possible.
+
+Applications that do make direct access to the members of png_struct (except
+for png_ptr->jmpbuf) must be recompiled whenever the library is updated,
+and applications that make direct access to the members of png_info must
+be recompiled if they were compiled or loaded with libpng version 1.0.6,
+in which the members were in a different order. In version 1.0.7, the
+members of the png_info structure reverted to the old order, as they were
+in versions 0.97c through 1.0.5. Starting with version 2.0.0, both
+structures are going to be hidden, and the contents of the structures will
+only be accessible through the png_get/png_set functions.
The png.h header file is an invaluable reference for programming with libpng.
And while I'm on the topic, make sure you include the libpng header file:
.SH III. Reading
-Reading PNG files:
-
We'll now walk you through the possible functions to call when reading
-in a PNG file, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose of each one.
-See example.c and png.h for more detail. While Progressive reading
-is covered in the next section, you will still need some of the
-functions discussed in this section to read a PNG file.
+in a PNG file sequentially, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose
+of each one. See example.c and png.h for more detail. While
+progressive reading is covered in the next section, you will still
+need some of the functions discussed in this section to read a PNG
+file.
+
+.SS Setup
You will want to do the I/O initialization(*) before you get into libpng,
so if it doesn't work, you don't have much to undo. Of course, you
will also want to insure that you are, in fact, dealing with a PNG
file. Libpng provides a simple check to see if a file is a PNG file.
-To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file, and it will
-return true or false (1 or 0) depending on whether the bytes could be
-part of a PNG file. Of course, the more bytes you pass in, the
-greater the accuracy of the prediction.
+To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file to the function
+png_sig_cmp(), and it will return 0 (false) if the bytes match the
+corresponding bytes of the PNG signature, or nonzero (true) otherwise.
+Of course, the more bytes you pass in, the greater the accuracy of the
+prediction.
If you are intending to keep the file pointer open for use in libpng,
you must ensure you don't read more than 8 bytes from the beginning
FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "rb");
if (!fp)
{
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
fread(header, 1, number, fp);
- is_png = png_check_sig(header, 0, number);
+ is_png = !png_sig_cmp(header, 0, number);
if (!is_png)
{
- return;
+ return (NOT_PNG);
}
use by the error functions, if necessary (the pointer and functions can
be NULL if the default error handlers are to be used). See the section
on Changes to Libpng below regarding the old initialization functions.
+The structure allocation functions quietly return NULL if they fail to
+create the structure, so your application should check for that.
png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct
- (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (void *)user_error_ptr,
+ (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
user_error_fn, user_warning_fn);
if (!png_ptr)
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
png_infop info_ptr = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
if (!info_ptr)
{
png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr,
(png_infopp)NULL, (png_infopp)NULL);
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
png_infop end_info = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
{
png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
(png_infopp)NULL);
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
+If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
+define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use
+png_create_read_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct():
+
+ png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct_2
+ (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
+ user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
+ user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
+
+The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct()
+and the memory alloc/free routines passed to png_create_struct_2()
+are only necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error
+handling and memory alloc/free functions.
-The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct() are only
-necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error handling
-functions. When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
-to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass the
-jmpbuf field of your png_struct. If you read the file from different
+When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
+to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass
+your png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you read the file from different
routines, you will need to update the jmpbuf field every time you enter
-a new routine that will call a png_ function.
+a new routine that will call a png_*() function.
See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp for your compiler for more
-handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information on
-the libpng error handling. If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's
+information on setjmp/longjmp. See the discussion on libpng error
+handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information
+on the libpng error handling. If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's
back to your setjmp, you will want to call png_destroy_read_struct() to
free any memory.
- if (setjmp(png_ptr->jmpbuf))
+ if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))
{
png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
&end_info);
fclose(fp);
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
+If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
+you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
+errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
+
+You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
+more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
+return.
+
Now you need to set up the input code. The default for libpng is to
use the C function fread(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number);
+You can change the zlib compression buffer size to be used while
+reading compressed data with
+
+ png_set_compression_buffer_size(png_ptr, buffer_size);
+
+where the default size is 8192 bytes. Note that the buffer size
+is changed immediately and the buffer is reallocated immediately,
+instead of setting a flag to be acted upon later.
+
+.SS Setting up callback code
+
+You can set up a callback function to handle any unknown chunks in the
+input stream. You must supply the function
+
+ read_chunk_callback(png_ptr ptr,
+ png_unknown_chunkp chunk);
+ {
+ /* The unknown chunk structure contains your
+ chunk data, along with similar data for any other
+ unknown chunks: */
+
+ png_byte name[5];
+ png_byte *data;
+ png_size_t size;
+
+ /* Note that libpng has already taken care of
+ the CRC handling */
+
+ /* put your code here. Search for your chunk in the
+ unknown chunk structure, process it, and return one
+ of the following: */
+
+ return (-n); /* chunk had an error */
+ return (0); /* did not recognize */
+ return (n); /* success */
+ }
+
+(You can give your function another name that you like instead of
+"read_chunk_callback")
+
+To inform libpng about your function, use
+
+ png_set_read_user_chunk_fn(png_ptr, user_chunk_ptr,
+ read_chunk_callback);
+
+This names not only the callback function, but also a user pointer that
+you can retrieve with
+
+ png_get_user_chunk_ptr(png_ptr);
+
+If you call the png_set_read_user_chunk_fn() function, then all unknown
+chunks will be saved when read, in case your callback function will need
+one or more of them. This behavior can be changed with the
+png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() function, described below.
+
At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
called after each row has been read, which you can use to control
a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
You must supply a function
- void read_row_callback(png_ptr, png_uint_32 row, int pass);
+ void read_row_callback(png_ptr ptr, png_uint_32 row,
+ int pass);
{
/* put your code here */
}
png_set_read_status_fn(png_ptr, read_row_callback);
-In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the level of opacity.
-If you need the alpha channel in an image to be the level of transparency
-instead of opacity, you can invert the alpha channel (or the tRNS chunk
-data) after it's read, so that 0 is fully opaque and 255 (in 8-bit or
-paletted images) or 65535 (in 16-bit images) is fully transparent, with
+.SS Unknown-chunk handling
+
+Now you get to set the way the library processes unknown chunks in the
+input PNG stream. Both known and unknown chunks will be read. Normal
+behavior is that known chunks will be parsed into information in
+various info_ptr members while unknown chunks will be discarded. This
+behavior can be wasteful if your application will never use some known
+chunk types. To change this, you can call:
+
+ png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, keep,
+ chunk_list, num_chunks);
+ keep - 0: default unknown chunk handling
+ 1: ignore; do not keep
+ 2: keep only if safe-to-copy
+ 3: keep even if unsafe-to-copy
+ You can use these definitions:
+ PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_AS_DEFAULT 0
+ PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER 1
+ PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE 2
+ PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS 3
+ chunk_list - list of chunks affected (a byte string,
+ five bytes per chunk, NULL or '\0' if
+ num_chunks is 0)
+ num_chunks - number of chunks affected; if 0, all
+ unknown chunks are affected. If nonzero,
+ only the chunks in the list are affected
+
+Unknown chunks declared in this way will be saved as raw data onto a
+list of png_unknown_chunk structures. If a chunk that is normally
+known to libpng is named in the list, it will be handled as unknown,
+according to the "keep" directive. If a chunk is named in successive
+instances of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(), the final instance will
+take precedence. The IHDR and IEND chunks should not be named in
+chunk_list; if they are, libpng will process them normally anyway.
+
+Here is an example of the usage of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(),
+where the private "vpAg" chunk will later be processed by a user chunk
+callback function:
+
+ png_byte vpAg[5]={118, 112, 65, 103, (png_byte) '\0'};
+
+ #if defined(PNG_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED)
+ png_byte unused_chunks[]=
+ {
+ 104, 73, 83, 84, (png_byte) '\0', /* hIST */
+ 105, 84, 88, 116, (png_byte) '\0', /* iTXt */
+ 112, 67, 65, 76, (png_byte) '\0', /* pCAL */
+ 115, 67, 65, 76, (png_byte) '\0', /* sCAL */
+ 115, 80, 76, 84, (png_byte) '\0', /* sPLT */
+ 116, 73, 77, 69, (png_byte) '\0', /* tIME */
+ };
+ #endif
+
+ ...
+
+ #if defined(PNG_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED)
+ /* ignore all unknown chunks: */
+ png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(read_ptr, 1, NULL, 0);
+ /* except for vpAg: */
+ png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(read_ptr, 2, vpAg, 1);
+ /* also ignore unused known chunks: */
+ png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(read_ptr, 1, unused_chunks,
+ (int)sizeof(unused_chunks)/5);
+ #endif
+
+.SS User limits
+
+The PNG specification allows the width and height of an image to be as
+large as 2^31-1 (0x7fffffff), or about 2.147 billion rows and columns.
+Since very few applications really need to process such large images,
+we have imposed an arbitrary 1-million limit on rows and columns.
+Larger images will be rejected immediately with a png_error() call. If
+you wish to override this limit, you can use
+
+ png_set_user_limits(png_ptr, width_max, height_max);
+
+to set your own limits, or use width_max = height_max = 0x7fffffffL
+to allow all valid dimensions (libpng may reject some very large images
+anyway because of potential buffer overflow conditions).
+
+You should put this statement after you create the PNG structure and
+before calling png_read_info(), png_read_png(), or png_process_data().
+If you need to retrieve the limits that are being applied, use
+
+ width_max = png_get_user_width_max(png_ptr);
+ height_max = png_get_user_height_max(png_ptr);
+
+The PNG specification sets no limit on the number of ancillary chunks
+allowed in a PNG datastream. You can impose a limit on the total number
+of sPLT, tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, and unknown chunks that will be stored, with
+
+ png_set_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_cache_max);
+
+where 0x7fffffffL means unlimited. You can retrieve this limit with
+
+ chunk_cache_max = png_get_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr);
+
+This limit also applies to the number of buffers that can be allocated
+by png_decompress_chunk() while decompressing iTXt, zTXt, and iCCP chunks.
+
+You can also set a limit on the amount of memory that a compressed chunk
+other than IDAT can occupy, with
+
+ png_set_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_malloc_max);
+
+and you can retrieve the limit with
+
+ chunk_malloc_max = png_get_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr);
+
+Any chunks that would cause either of these limits to be exceeded will
+be ignored.
+
+.SS The high-level read interface
+
+At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
+read interface, or through a sequence of low-level read operations.
+You can use the high-level interface if (a) you are willing to read
+the entire image into memory, and (b) the input transformations
+you want to do are limited to the following set:
+

To properly display PNG images on any kind of system, the application needs
to know what the display gamma is. Ideally, the user will know this, and
the application will allow them to set it. One method of allowing the user
-to set the display gamma separately for each system is to check for the
-DISPLAY_GAMMA and VIEWING_GAMMA environment variables or for a SCREEN_GAMMA
-environment variable, which will hopefully be correctly set.
-
-Note that display_gamma is the gamma of your display, while screen_gamma is
-the overall gamma correction required to produce pleasing results,
-which depends on the lighting conditions in the surrounding environment.
-Screen_gamma is display_gamma/viewing_gamma, where viewing_gamma is
-the amount of additional gamma correction needed to compensate for
-a (viewing_gamma=1.25) environment. In a dim or brightly lit room, no
-compensation other than the display_gamma is needed (viewing_gamma=1.0).

The png_set_gamma() function handles gamma transformations of the data.

not have a gamma value, you can pass one anyway if you have an idea what

PNG files store 16 bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
if (bit_depth < 8)

+Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
+the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
+with
+
+ png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
+ read_transform_fn);
+
+You must supply the function
+
+ void read_transform_fn(png_ptr ptr, row_info_ptr
+ row_info, png_bytep data)
+
+See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
+after all of the other transformations have been processed.
+
+You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
+callback function, and you can inform libpng that your transform
+function will change the number of channels or bit depth with the
+function
+
+ png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr,
+ user_depth, user_channels);
+
+The user's application, not libpng, is responsible for allocating and
+freeing any memory required for the user structure.
+
+You can retrieve the pointer via the function
+png_get_user_transform_ptr(). For example:
+
+ voidp read_user_transform_ptr =
+ png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
+
The last thing to handle is interlacing; this is covered in detail below,
but you must call the function here if you want libpng to handle expansion
of the interlaced image.
array of pointers to each row, as it will be needed for some
of the functions below.
+.SS Reading image data
+
After you've allocated memory, you can read the image data.
The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you are
allocating enough memory to hold the whole image, you can just
where row_pointers is the same as in the png_read_image() call.
If you are doing this just one row at a time, you can do this with
-row_pointers:
+a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
- png_bytep row_pointers = row;
- png_read_row(png_ptr, &row_pointers, NULL);
+ png_bytep row_pointer = row;
+ png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointer, NULL);
-If the file is interlaced (info_ptr->interlace_type != 0), things get
-somewhat harder. The only current (PNG Specification version 1.0)
+If the file is interlaced (interlace_type != 0 in the IHDR chunk), things
+get somewhat harder. The only current (PNG Specification version 1.2)
interlacing type for PNG is (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7)
is a somewhat complicated 2D interlace scheme, known as Adam7, that
breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying size, based
png_read_rows(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers,
number_of_rows);
-After you are finished reading the image, you can finish reading
-the file. If you are interested in comments or time, which may be

-can pass NULL.
+.SS Finishing a sequential read
+
+After you are finished reading the image through the
+low-level interface, you can finish reading the file. If you are

png_read_end(png_ptr, end_info);
png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
&end_info);
-For a more compact example of reading a PNG image, see the file example.c.
+It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
+point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
+
+ png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
+ mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
+ containing the bitwise OR of one or
+ more of
+ PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
+ PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
+ PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
+ PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
+ PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
+ or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
+ seq - sequence number of item to be freed
+ (-1 for all items)
+
+This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
+already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
+by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
+The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
+type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items
+are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
+sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
+
+The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
+by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
+or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
+or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
+
+ png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
+ mask - which data elements are affected
+ same choices as in png_free_data()
+ freer - one of
+ PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA
+
+This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
+You can call this function after reading the PNG data but before calling
+any png_set_*() functions, to control whether the user or the png_set_*()
+function is responsible for freeing any existing data that might be present,
+and again after the png_set_*() functions to control whether the user
+or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data. When the user assumes
+responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the application must use
+png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
+for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
+or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
+
+If you allocated your row_pointers in a single block, as suggested above in
+the description of the high level read interface, you must not transfer
+responsibility for freeing it to the png_set_rows or png_read_destroy function,
+because they would also try to free the individual row_pointers[i].
+
+If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
+separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
+because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
+the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
+if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
+application, your application must not separately free those members.
+
+The png_free_data() function will turn off the "valid" flag for anything
+it frees. If you need to turn the flag off for a chunk that was freed by
+your application instead of by libpng, you can use
+
+ png_set_invalid(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask);
+ mask - identifies the chunks to be made invalid,
+ containing the bitwise OR of one or
+ more of

.SH IV. Writing
Much of this is very similar to reading. However, everything of
importance is repeated here, so you won't have to constantly look
back up in the reading section to understand writing.
+.SS Setup
+
You will want to do the I/O initialization before you get into libpng,
so if it doesn't work, you don't have anything to undo. If you are not
using the standard I/O functions, you will need to replace them with
custom writing functions. See the discussion under Customizing libpng.
-
+
FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "wb");
if (!fp)
{
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized.
"read_ptr" and "write_ptr". Look at pngtest.c, for example.
png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct
- (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (void *)user_error_ptr,
+ (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
user_error_fn, user_warning_fn);
if (!png_ptr)
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
png_infop info_ptr = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
if (!info_ptr)
{
png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr,
(png_infopp)NULL);
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
+If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
+define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use
+png_create_write_struct_2() instead of png_create_write_struct():
+
+ png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct_2
+ (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
+ user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
+ user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
+
After you have these structures, you will need to set up the
error handling. When libpng encounters an error, it expects to
longjmp() back to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call
-setjmp and pass the jmpbuf field of your png_struct. If you
+setjmp() and pass the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you
write the file from different routines, you will need to update
-the jmpbuf field every time you enter a new routine that will
-call a png_ function. See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp
+the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr) every time you enter a new routine that will
+call a png_*() function. See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp
for your compiler for more information on setjmp/longjmp. See
the discussion on libpng error handling in the Customizing Libpng
section below for more information on the libpng error handling.

}
+ ...
+ return;
+
+If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
+you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
+errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
+
+You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
+more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
+return.
Now you need to set up the output code. The default for libpng is to
use the C function fwrite(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);

+
+.SS Write callbacks
+
At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
called after each row has been written, which you can use to control
a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
You must supply a function
- void write_row_callback(png_ptr, png_uint_32 row, int pass);

+
+The "location" member is set automatically according to
+what part of the output file has already been written.
+You can change its value after calling png_set_unknown_chunks()
+as demonstrated in pngtest.c. Within each of the "locations",
+the chunks are sequenced according to their position in the
+structure (that is, the value of "i", which is the order in which
+the chunk was either read from the input file or defined with
+png_set_unknown_chunks).
A quick word about text and num_text. text is an array of png_text
structures. num_text is the number of valid structures in the array.
-If you want, you can use max_text to hold the size of the array, but
-libpng ignores it for writing (it does use it for reading). Each
-png_text structure holds a keyword-text value, and a compression type.
+Each png_text structure holds a language code, a keyword, a text value,
+and a compression type.
+
The compression types have the same valid numbers as the compression
types of the image data. Currently, the only valid number is zero.
However, you can store text either compressed or uncompressed, unlike
-images which always have to be compressed. So if you don't want the
+images, which always have to be compressed. So if you don't want the
text compressed, set the compression type to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE.
+Because tEXt and zTXt chunks don't have a language field, if you
+specify PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt
+any language code or translated keyword will not be written out.
+
Until text gets around 1000 bytes, it is not worth compressing it.
After the text has been written out to the file, the compression type
is set to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE_WR or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt_WR,
is compressed anyway, so the compression would be meaningless.
PNG supports modification time via the png_time structure. Two
-conversion routines are proved, png_convert_from_time_t() for
+conversion routines are provided, png_convert_from_time_t() for
time_t and png_convert_from_struct_tm() for struct tm. The
time_t routine uses gmtime(). You don't have to use either of
these, but if you wish to fill in the png_time structure directly,
created in a non-PNG format, a still photo from which the image was
scanned, or possibly the subject matter itself. In order to facilitate
machine-readable dates, it is recommended that the "Creation Time"
-tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. 22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"),
+tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. "22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"),
although this isn't a requirement. Unlike the tIME chunk, the
"Creation Time" tEXt chunk is not expected to be automatically changed
by the software. To facilitate the use of RFC 1123 dates, a function
png_convert_to_rfc1123(png_timep) is provided to convert from PNG
time to an RFC 1123 format string.
-You are now ready to write all the file information up to the actual
-image data. You do this with a call to png_write_info().
+.SS Writing unknown chunks
+
+You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up chunks
+for writing. You give it a chunk name, raw data, and a size; that's
+all there is to it. The chunks will be written by the next following
+png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end function.
+Any chunks previously read into the info structure's unknown-chunk
+list will also be written out in a sequence that satisfies the PNG
+specification's ordering rules.
+
+.SS The high-level write interface
+
+At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
+write interface, or through a sequence of low-level write operations.
+You can use the high-level interface if your image data is present
+in the info structure. All defined output
+transformations are permitted, enabled by the following masks.
+
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY No transformation
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING Pack 1, 2 and 4-bit samples
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKSWAP Change order of packed
+ pixels to LSB first
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO Invert monochrome images
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT Normalize pixels to the
+ sBIT depth
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA
+ to BGRA
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
+ to AG
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA Change alpha from opacity
+ to transparency
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN Byte-swap 16-bit samples
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER Strip out filler
+ bytes (deprecated).
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_BEFORE Strip out leading
+ filler bytes
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_AFTER Strip out trailing
+ filler bytes
+
+If you have valid image data in the info structure (you can use
+png_set_rows() to put image data in the info structure), simply do this:
+
+ png_write_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
+
+where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some set of
+transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_write_info(),
+followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
+then png_write_image(), and finally png_write_end().
+
+(The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
+to transformation parameters required by some future output transform.)
+
+You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
+when you use png_write_png().
+
+.SS The low-level write interface
+
+If you are going the low-level route instead, you are now ready to
+write all the file information up to the actual image data. You do
+this with a call to png_write_info().
+
+ png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
+
+Note that there is one transformation you may need to do before
+png_write_info(). In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the
+level of opacity. If your data is supplied as a level of transparency,
+you can invert the alpha channel before you write it, so that 0 is
+fully transparent and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535
+(in 16-bit images) is fully opaque, with
+
+ png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
+
+This must appear before png_write_info() instead of later with the
+other transformations because in the case of paletted images the tRNS
+chunk data has to be inverted before the tRNS chunk is written. If
+your image is not a paletted image, the tRNS data (which in such cases
+represents a single color to be rendered as transparent) won't need to
+be changed, and you can safely do this transformation after your
+png_write_info() call.
+If you need to write a private chunk that you want to appear before
+the PLTE chunk when PLTE is present, you can write the PNG info in
+two steps, and insert code to write your own chunk between them:
+
+ png_write_info_before_PLTE(png_ptr, info_ptr);
+ png_set_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...);
png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
After you've written the file information, you can set up the library
make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
-PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 bytes. This code tells
-the library to expect input data with 4 bytes per pixel
+PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code tells
+the library to strip input data that has 4 or 8 bytes per pixel down
+to 3 or 6 bytes (or strip 2 or 4-byte grayscale+filler data to 1 or 2
+bytes per pixel).
png_set_filler(png_ptr, 0, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
-where the 0 is the value that will be put in the 4th byte, and the
-location is either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending

+where the 0 is unused, and the location is either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or

+is stored XRGB or RGBX.
PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit files.
PNG files reduce possible bit depths to 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. If your
data is of another bit depth, you can write an sBIT chunk into the
-file so that decoders can get the original data if desired.

You must supply the function

+
+You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
+callback function.
+
+ png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr, 0, 0);
+
+The user_channels and user_depth parameters of this function are ignored
+when writing; you can set them to zero as shown.
+
+You can retrieve the pointer via the function png_get_user_transform_ptr().
+For example:
+
+ voidp write_user_transform_ptr =
+ png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
It is possible to have libpng flush any pending output, either manually,
or automatically after a certain number of lines have been written. To
only degrade the compression performance by a few percent over images
that do not use flushing.
+.SS Writing the image data
+
That's it for the transformations. Now you can write the image data.
-The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If have the
+The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you have the
whole image in memory, you can just call png_write_image() and libpng
will write the image. You will need to pass in an array of pointers to
each row. This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
where row_pointers is:
- png_bytef *row_pointers[height];
+ png_byte *row_pointers[height];
You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
-If you can't want to write the whole image at once, you can
+If you don't want to write the whole image at once, you can
use png_write_rows() instead. If the file is not interlaced,
this is simple:
row_pointers is the same as in the png_write_image() call.
If you are just writing one row at a time, you can do this with
-row_pointers:
+a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
png_bytep row_pointer = row;
- png_write_row(png_ptr, &row_pointer);
+ png_write_row(png_ptr, row_pointer);
-When the file is interlaced, things can get a good deal more
-complicated. The only currently (as of February 1998 -- PNG Specification
-version 1.0, dated October 1996) defined interlacing scheme for PNG files
-is the "Adam7" interlace scheme, that breaks down an
-image into seven smaller images of varying size. libpng will build
-these images for you, or you can do them yourself. If you want to
-build them yourself, see the PNG specification for details of which
-pixels to write when.

+As some of these rows are not used, and thus return immediately, you may
+want to read about interlacing in the PNG specification, and only update

+
+.SS Finishing a sequential write
After you are finished writing the image, you should finish writing
the file. If you are interested in writing comments or time, you should
png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
-You must free any data you allocated for info_ptr, such as comments,
-palette, or histogram, before the call to png_destroy_write_struct();
-
+It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
+point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
+
+ png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
+ mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
+ containing the bitwise OR of one or
+ more of
+ PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
+ PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
+ PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
+ PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
+ PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
+ or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
+ seq - sequence number of item to be freed
+ (-1 for all items)
+
+This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
+already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
+by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
+The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
+type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items
+are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
+sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
+
+If you allocated data such as a palette that you passed in to libpng
+with png_set_*, you must not free it until just before the call to
+png_destroy_write_struct().
+
+The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
+by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
+or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
+or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
+
+ png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
+ mask - which data elements are affected
+ same choices as in png_free_data()
+ freer - one of
+ PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA
+
+For example, to transfer responsibility for some data from a read structure
+to a write structure, you could use
+
+ png_data_freer(read_ptr, read_info_ptr,
+ PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA,
+ PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
+ png_data_freer(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
+ PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA,
+ PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
+
+thereby briefly reassigning responsibility for freeing to the user but
+immediately afterwards reassigning it once more to the write_destroy
+function. Having done this, it would then be safe to destroy the read
+structure and continue to use the PLTE, tRNS, and hIST data in the write
+structure.
+
+This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
+You can call this function before calling after the png_set_*() functions
+to control whether the user or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data.
+When the user assumes responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the
+application must use
+png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
+for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
+or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
+
+If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
+separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
+because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
+the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
+if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
+application, your application must not separately free those members.
For a more compact example of writing a PNG image, see the file example.c.

.SH V. Modifying/Customizing libpng:
There are two issues here. The first is changing how libpng does
standard things like memory allocation, input/output, and error handling.
The second deals with more complicated things like adding new chunks,
adding new transformations, and generally changing how libpng works.
+Both of those are compile-time issues; that is, they are generally
+determined at the time the code is written, and there is rarely a need
+to provide the user with a means of changing them.
+
+Memory allocation, input/output, and error handling
All of the memory allocation, input/output, and error handling in libpng
-goes through callbacks which are user settable. The default routines are
-in pngmem.c, pngrio.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c respectively. To change
-these functions, call the appropriate png_set_???_fn() function.
-
-Memory allocation is done through the functions png_large_malloc(),
-png_malloc(), png_realloc(), png_large_free(), and png_free(). These
-currently just call the standard C functions. The large functions must
-handle exactly 64K, but they don't have to handle more than that. If
-your pointers can't access more then 64K at a time, you will want to set
-MAXSEG_64K in zlib.h. Since it is unlikely that the method of handling
-memory allocation on a platform will change between applications, these
-functions must be modified in the library at compile time.

+in pngmem.c, pngrio.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c, respectively. To change
+these functions, call the appropriate png_set_*_fn() function.
+
+Memory allocation is done through the functions png_malloc(), png_calloc(),
+and png_free(). These currently just call the standard C functions.
+png_calloc() calls png_malloc() and then png_memset() to clear the newly
+allocated memory to zero. If your pointers can't access more then 64K
+at a time, you will want to set MAXSEG_64K in zlib.h. Since it is
+unlikely that the method of handling memory allocation on a platform
+will change between applications, these functions must be modified in
+the library at compile time. If you prefer to use a different method
+of allocating and freeing data, you can use png_create_read_struct_2() or
+png_create_write_struct_2() to register your own functions as described
+above. These functions also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved
+via
+
+ mem_ptr=png_get_mem_ptr(png_ptr);
+
+Your replacement memory functions must have prototypes as follows:
+
+ png_voidp malloc_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
+ png_alloc_size_t size);
+ void free_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_voidp ptr);
+
+Your malloc_fn() must return NULL in case of failure. The png_malloc()
+function will normally call png_error() if it receives a NULL from the
+system memory allocator or from your replacement malloc_fn().
+
+Your free_fn() will never be called with a NULL ptr, since libpng's
+png_free() checks for NULL before calling free_fn().
Input/Output in libpng is done through png_read() and png_write(),
which currently just call fread() and fwrite(). The FILE * is stored in
also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved via the function
png_get_io_ptr(). For example:
- png_set_read_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
- voidp io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn)
+ png_set_read_fn(png_structp read_ptr,
+ voidp read_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn)
- png_set_write_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
- voidp io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn,
+ png_set_write_fn(png_structp write_ptr,
+ voidp write_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn,
png_flush_ptr output_flush_fn);
- voidp io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(png_ptr);
+ voidp read_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(read_ptr);
+ voidp write_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(write_ptr);
-The replacement I/O functions should have prototypes as follows:
+The replacement I/O functions must have prototypes as follows:
void user_read_data(png_structp png_ptr,
- png_bytep data, png_uint_32 length);
+ png_bytep data, png_size_t length);
void user_write_data(png_structp png_ptr,
- png_bytep data, png_uint_32 length);
+ png_bytep data, png_size_t length);
void user_flush_data(png_structp png_ptr);
+The user_read_data() function is responsible for detecting and
+handling end-of-data errors.
+
Supplying NULL for the read, write, or flush functions sets them back
-to using the default C stream functions. It is an error to read from
-a write stream, and vice versa.
+to using the default C stream functions, which expect the io_ptr to
+point to a standard *FILE structure. It is probably a mistake
+to use NULL for one of write_data_fn and output_flush_fn but not both
+of them, unless you have built libpng with PNG_NO_WRITE_FLUSH defined.
+It is an error to read from a write stream, and vice versa.
Error handling in libpng is done through png_error() and png_warning().
Errors handled through png_error() are fatal, meaning that png_error()
should never return to its caller. Currently, this is handled via
-setjmp() and longjmp(), but you could change this to do things like
-exit() if you should wish. On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called
+setjmp() and longjmp() (unless you have compiled libpng with
+PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()),
+but you could change this to do things like exit() if you should wish,
+as long as your function does not return.
+
+On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called
to print a warning message, and then control returns to the calling code.
By default png_error() and png_warning() print a message on stderr via
-fprintf() unless the library is compiled with PNG_NO_STDIO defined. If

+.SH VI. MNG support
+
+The MNG specification (available at http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng) allows
+certain extensions to PNG for PNG images that are embedded in MNG datastreams.
+Libpng can support some of these extensions. To enable them, use the
+png_permit_mng_features() function:
+
+ feature_set = png_permit_mng_features(png_ptr, mask)
+ mask is a png_uint_32 containing the bitwise OR of the
+ features you want to enable. These include
+ PNG_FLAG_MNG_EMPTY_PLTE
+ PNG_FLAG_MNG_FILTER_64
+ PNG_ALL_MNG_FEATURES
+ feature_set is a png_uint_32 that is the bitwise AND of
+ your mask with the set of MNG features that is
+ supported by the version of libpng that you are using.
+
+It is an error to use this function when reading or writing a standalone
+PNG file with the PNG 8-byte signature. The PNG datastream must be wrapped
+in a MNG datastream. As a minimum, it must have the MNG 8-byte signature
+and the MHDR and MEND chunks. Libpng does not provide support for these
+or any other MNG chunks; your application must provide its own support for
+them. You may wish to consider using libmng (available at
+http://www.libmng.com) instead.
+
+.SH VII. Changes to Libpng from version 0.88
It should be noted that versions of libpng later than 0.96 are not
distributed by the original libpng author, Guy Schalnat, nor by
still alive and well, but they have moved on to other things.
The old libpng functions png_read_init(), png_write_init(),

+
+Support for user memory management was enabled by default. To
+accomplish this, the functions png_create_read_struct_2(),
+png_create_write_struct_2(), png_set_mem_fn(), png_get_mem_ptr(),
+png_malloc_default(), and png_free_default() were added.
+
+Support for the iTXt chunk has been enabled by default as of
+version 1.2.41.
+
+Support for certain MNG features was enabled.
+
+Support for numbered error messages was added. However, we never got
+around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
+png_set_strip_error_numbers() was added (Note: the prototype for this
+function was inadvertently removed from png.h in PNG_NO_ASSEMBLER_CODE
+builds of libpng-1.2.15. It was restored in libpng-1.2.36).
+
+The png_malloc_warn() function was added at libpng-1.2.3. This issues
+a png_warning and returns NULL instead of aborting when it fails to
+acquire the requested memory allocation.
+
+Support for setting user limits on image width and height was enabled
+by default. The functions png_set_user_limits(), png_get_user_width_max(),
+and png_get_user_height_max() were added at libpng-1.2.6.
+
+The png_set_add_alpha() function was added at libpng-1.2.7.
+
+The function png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was added at libpng-1.2.9.
+Unlike png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8(), the new function does not expand the
+tRNS chunk to alpha. The png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() function is
+deprecated.
+
+A number of macro definitions in support of runtime selection of
+assembler code features (especially Intel MMX code support) were
+added at libpng-1.2.0:
+
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_COMPILED
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_IN_CPU
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_COMBINE_ROW
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_INTERLACE

+ PNG_ASM_FLAGS_INITIALIZED
+ PNG_MMX_READ_FLAGS
+ PNG_MMX_FLAGS
+ PNG_MMX_WRITE_FLAGS
+ PNG_MMX_FLAGS
+
+We added the following functions in support of runtime
+selection of assembler code features:
+
+ png_get_mmx_flagmask()
+ png_set_mmx_thresholds()
+ png_get_asm_flags()
+ png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold()
+ png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold()
+ png_set_asm_flags()
+
+We replaced all of these functions with simple stubs in libpng-1.2.20,
+when the Intel assembler code was removed due to a licensing issue.
+
+These macros are deprecated:

+ PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ
+ PNG_NO_WRITE_TRANSFORMS
+ PNG_NO_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS

+
+PNG_MAX_UINT was replaced with PNG_UINT_31_MAX. It has been
+deprecated since libpng-1.0.16 and libpng-1.2.6.
+
+The function
+ png_check_sig(sig, num)
+was replaced with
+ !png_sig_cmp(sig, 0, num)
+It has been deprecated since libpng-0.90.
+
+The function
+ png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
+which also expands tRNS to alpha was replaced with

+.SH IX. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x/1.2.x to 1.4.x
+
+Private libpng prototypes and macro definitions were moved from
+png.h and pngconf.h into a new pngpriv.h header file.
+
+Functions png_set_benign_errors(), png_benign_error(), and
+png_chunk_benign_error() were added.
+
+Support for setting the maximum amount of memory that the application
+will allocate for reading chunks was added, as a security measure.
+The functions png_set_chunk_cache_max() and png_get_chunk_cache_max()
+were added to the library.
+
+We implemented support for I/O states by adding png_ptr member io_state
+and functions png_get_io_chunk_name() and png_get_io_state() in pngget.c
+
+We added PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB to the available high-level
+input transforms.
+
+Checking for and reporting of errors in the IHDR chunk is more thorough.
+
+Support for global arrays was removed, to improve thread safety.
+
+Some obsolete/deprecated macros and functions have been removed.
+
+Typecasted NULL definitions such as
+ #define png_voidp_NULL (png_voidp)NULL
+were eliminated. If you used these in your application, just use
+NULL instead.
+
+The png_struct and info_struct members "trans" and "trans_values" were
+changed to "trans_alpha" and "trans_color", respectively.
+
+The obsolete, unused pnggccrd.c and pngvcrd.c files and related makefiles
+were removed.
+
+The PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros were eliminated.
+
+The PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro was eliminated.
+
+Many WIN32_WCE #ifdefs were removed.
+
+The functions png_read_init(info_ptr), png_write_init(info_ptr),
+png_info_init(info_ptr), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy()
+have been removed. They have been deprecated since libpng-0.95.
+
+The png_permit_empty_plte() was removed. It has been deprecated
+since libpng-1.0.9. Use png_permit_mng_features() instead.
+
+We removed the obsolete stub functions png_get_mmx_flagmask(),
+png_set_mmx_thresholds(), png_get_asm_flags(),
+png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold(), png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold(),
+png_set_asm_flags(), and png_mmx_supported()
+
+We removed the obsolete png_check_sig(), png_memcpy_check(), and
+png_memset_check() functions. Instead use !png_sig_cmp(), png_memcpy(),
+and png_memset(), respectively.
+
+The function png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was removed. It has been
+deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9, when it was replaced with
+png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() because the former function also
+expanded palette images.
+
+We changed the prototype for png_malloc() from
+ png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 size)
+to
+ png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_alloc_size_t size)
+
+This also applies to the prototype for the user replacement malloc_fn().
+
+The png_calloc() function was added and is used in place of
+of "png_malloc(); png_memset();" except in the case in png_read_png()
+where the array consists of pointers; in this case a "for" loop is used
+after the png_malloc() to set the pointers to NULL, to give robust.
+behavior in case the application runs out of memory part-way through
+the process.
+
+We changed the prototypes of png_get_compression_buffer_size() and
+png_set_compression_buffer_size() to work with png_size_t instead of
+png_uint_32.
+
+Support for numbered error messages was removed by default, since we
+never got around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
+png_set_strip_error_numbers() was removed from the library by default.
+
+The png_zalloc() and png_zfree() functions are no longer exported.
+The png_zalloc() function no longer zeroes out the memory that it
+allocates.
+
+Support for dithering was disabled by default in libpng-1.4.0, because
+been well tested and doesn't actually "dither". The code was not
+removed, however, and could be enabled by building libpng with
+PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED defined. In libpng-1.4.2, this support
+was reenabled, but the function was renamed png_set_quantize() to
+reflect more accurately what it actually does. At the same time,
+the PNG_DITHER_[RED,GREEN_BLUE]_BITS macros were also renamed to
+PNG_QUANTIZE_[RED,GREEN,BLUE]_BITS.
+
+We removed the trailing '.' from the warning and error messages.
+
+.SH X. Detecting libpng
+
+The png_get_io_ptr() function has been present since libpng-0.88, has never

+
+.SH XII. Coding style
+
+Our coding style is similar to the "Allman" style, with curly
+braces on separate lines:
+
+ if (condition)
+ {
+ action;
+ }
+
+ else if (another condition)
+ {
+ another action;
+ }
+
+The braces can be omitted from simple one-line actions:
+
+ if (condition)
+ return (0);
+
+We use 3-space indentation, except for continued statements which
+are usually indented the same as the first line of the statement
+plus four more spaces.
+
+For macro definitions we use 2-space indentation, always leaving the "#"
+in the first column.
+
+ #ifndef PNG_NO_FEATURE
+ # ifndef PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
+ # define PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
+ # endif
+ #endif
+
+Comments appear with the leading "/*" at the same indentation as
+the statement that follows the comment:
+
+ /* Single-line comment */
+ statement;
+
+ /* This is a multiple-line
+ * comment.
+ */
+ statement;
+
+Very short comments can be placed after the end of the statement
+to which they pertain:
+
+ statement; /* comment */
+
+We don't use C++ style ("//") comments. We have, however,
+used them in the past in some now-abandoned MMX assembler
+code.
+
+Functions and their curly braces are not indented, and
+exported functions are marked with PNGAPI:
+
+ /* This is a public function that is visible to
+ * application programers. It does thus-and-so.
+ */
+ void PNGAPI
+ png_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
+ {
+ body;
+ }
+
+The prototypes for all exported functions appear in png.h,
+above the comment that says
+
+ /* Maintainer: Put new public prototypes here ... */
+
+We mark all non-exported functions with "/* PRIVATE */"":
+
+ void /* PRIVATE */
+ png_non_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
+ {
+ body;
+ }
+
+The prototypes for non-exported functions (except for those in
+pngtest) appear in
+pngpriv.h
+above the comment that says
+
+ /* Maintainer: Put new private prototypes here ^ and in libpngpf.3 */
+
+The names of all exported functions and variables begin
+with "png_", and all publicly visible C preprocessor
+macros begin with "PNG_".
+
+We put a space after each comma and after each semicolon
+in "for" statments, and we put spaces before and after each
+C binary operator and after "for" or "while", and before
+"?". We don't put a space between a typecast and the expression
+being cast, nor do we put one between a function name and the
+left parenthesis that follows it:
+
+ for (i = 2; i > 0; --i)
+ y[i] = a(x) + (int)b;
+
+We prefer #ifdef and #ifndef to #if defined() and if !defined()
+when there is only one macro being tested.
+
+We do not use the TAB character for indentation in the C sources.
+
+Lines do not exceed 80 characters.
+
+Other rules can be inferred by inspecting the libpng source.
+
+.SH XIII. Y2K Compliance in libpng
+
+September 23, 2010
+
+Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make
+an official declaration.
+
+This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and
+upward through 1.4.4 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that earlier
+versions were also Y2K compliant.
+
+Libpng only has three year fields. One is a 2-byte unsigned integer that
+will hold years up to 65535. The other two hold the date in text
+format, and will hold years up to 9999.
+
+The integer is
+ "png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct.
+
+The strings are
+ "png_charp time_buffer" in png_struct and
+ "near_time_buffer", which is a local character string in png.c.
+
+There are seven time-related functions:
+
+ png_convert_to_rfc_1123() in png.c
+ (formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1152() in error)
+ png_convert_from_struct_tm() in pngwrite.c, called
+ in pngwrite.c
+ png_convert_from_time_t() in pngwrite.c
+ png_get_tIME() in pngget.c
+ png_handle_tIME() in pngrutil.c, called in pngread.c
+ png_set_tIME() in pngset.c
+ png_write_tIME() in pngwutil.c, called in pngwrite.c
+
+All appear to handle dates properly in a Y2K environment. The
+png_convert_from_time_t() function calls gmtime() to convert from system
+clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to
+the full 4-digit year. There is a possibility that applications using
+libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123()
+function, or that they are incorrectly passing only a 2-digit year
+instead of "year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function,
+but this is not under our control. The libpng documentation has always
+stated that it works with 4-digit years, and the APIs have been
+documented as such.
+
+The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant. It uses a 2-byte unsigned
+integer to hold the year, and can hold years as large as 65535.
+
+zlib, upon which libpng depends, is also Y2K compliant. It contains
+no date-related code.

The following table summarizes matters since version 0.89c, which was
the first widely used release:

- version string int version
- ------- ------ ------ ----------
- 0.89c 0.89 89 1.0.89
- 0.90 0.90 90 0.90 [should be 2.0.90]
