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