| Why Use PyPNG? |
| ============== |
| |
| - PyPNG is pure Python; |
| - install with pip: ``pip install pypng``; |
| - install traditional way: ``python setup.py install``; |
| - install by copying ``code/png.py``; |
| - read/write all PNG bitdepths (16 bit!) and colour modes; |
| - read/write interlace PNG; |
| - convert to/from 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- channel NetPBM PAM files; |
| - support for ``sBIT`` chunk; |
| - support for many other PNG chunk types; |
| - fun command line utilities. |
| |
| Conversion to and from PAM files means that on the command line, |
| processing PAM files can be mixed with processing PNG files. |
| |
| Because PyPNG is dedicated to PNG files it often supports more |
| formats and features of PNG file than general purpose libraries. |
