Description
-----------
A pure ruby PNG file manipulation & validation

(If you need a high-level PNG creation toolkit - take a look at [SugarPNG](https://github.com/zed-0xff/sugar_png))

Installation
------------
    gem install zpng

Comparison
----------
 * supports `iTXt` (international text) chunks
 * full support of 16-bit color & alpha depth
 * correct 4bpp image decoding (as of 29-Dec-2012, ChunkyPNG had 1-bit error in 4bpp image decoding)

Usage
-----

% zpng -h

### Info

## Image manipulation

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby
    require 'zpng'
    include ZPNG

    img = Image.new(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),"http.png"))

    puts "[.] original:"
    puts img.to_s
    puts

    img.width.times do |x|
      img[x,0] = (x % 2 == 0) ? Color::WHITE : Color::BLACK
    end

    puts "[.] modified:"
    puts img.to_s

    File.open("http-modified.png","wb") do |f|
      f << img.export
    end

## Create 16x16 transparent PNG

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby
    require 'zpng'
    include ZPNG

    img = Image.new :width => 16, :height => 16
    File.open("16x16.png","wb") do |f|
