Pure Python PNG image encoder/decoder
Project description
PurePNG allows PNG image files to be read and written using pure Python. PurePNG can read and write all PNG formats. PNG supports a generous variety of image formats: RGB or greyscale, with or without an alpha channel; and a choice of bit depths from 1, 2 or 4 (as long as you want greyscale or a pallete), 8, and 16 (but 16 bits is not allowed for palettes). A pixel can vary in size from 1 to 64 bits: 1/2/4/8/16/24/32/48/64. In addition a PNG file can be interlaced or not. An interlaced file allows an incrementally refined display of images being downloaded over slow links (yet it`s not implemented in PurePNG for now).
PurePNG is written in pure Python(that`s why it`s called Pure).
