  35 PNG Metadata Format Specification
  36 </h1></center>
  37 
  38 <p>
  39 
  40 The PNG native format encodes the complete contents of a PNG file
  41 chunk by chunk, except for the IDAT chunks that contain the actual
  42 image data.  Chunks that are not defined in the PNG 1.2 specification
  43 are stored under the <code>UnknownChunks</code> element.  Note that it
  44 is the responsibility of application software to implement the rules
  45 for PNG readers, writers, and editors (<i>e.g.</i>, the rules
  46 concerning unsafe-to-copy chunks) described in the PNG specification.
  47 The Image I/O library is not, in and of itself, a PNG reader, writer,
  48 or editor in the sense of the specification.  Rather, it is a tool
  49 that may be used to build PNG readers, writers, and editors.
  50 
  51 <p>
  52 
  53 The image's actual width, height, bit depth, and color type will
  54 override any values passed to the writer via metadata, with one
  55 exception.  If the image has an <code>IndexColorModel</code>, the
  56 color table entries will be checked to determine if they form a
  57 uniform grayscale ramp. If so, the image will normally be encoded
  58 using as grayscale instead of palette color.  However, if the color
  59 type set in the metadata is "Palette", palette color will be used.
  60 
  61 <p>
  62  
  63 If no metadata is supplied when encoding an image, the header is
  64 initialized from the image being encoded, and no optional chunks are
  65 included.
  66 
  67 <p>
  68 
  69 The semantics of the standard chunks are described in the <A
  70 HREF="http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/spec/">PNG specification</A>.
  71 Note that there are some restrictions on which chunks may appear
  72 for each color type. In particular,
  73 
  74 <ul>
  75   <li>A <code>PLTE</code> chunk may not appear in a <code>Gray</code>
  76 or <code>GrayAlpha</code> image
  77 
  78   <li><code>hIST</code> and <code>tRNS</code> chunks require a prior
  79 <code>PLTE</code> chunk
  80 
  81   <li>A <code>tRNS</code> chunk may not appear in
  82 <code>GrayAlpha</code> and <code>RGBA</code> images
  83 </ul>
  84 
  85 The child nodes of the <code>bKGD</code>, <code>sBIT</code>, and
  86 <code>tRNS</code> chunks must match the image's color type.
  87 
  88 <p> 
  89 
  90 Certain chunks may meaningfully appear multiple times in a PNG file,
  91 in particular the text-related chunks.  In order to simplify the
  92 metadata format, multiple instances of these chunks are consolidated
  93 under a single parent node (<i>e.g.</i>, the <code>tEXt</code> node),
  94 which may have zero or more children (<i>e.g.</i>,
  95 <code>tEXtEntry</code> nodes).  If no children are present, no chunk
  96 will be written.  Similarly, unknown chunks are stored as children of
  97 a single <code>UnknownChunks</code> node.
  98 
  99 <p>
 100 
 101 It is not possible to control the ordering of the chunks as they are
 102 written, or to determine the order of the chunks in a file being read.
