PNG: The Definitive Guide: Source Code

Chapters 13, 14 and 15 of PNG: The Definitive Guide discuss three
cross-platform demo programs that show how to use the libpng reference
library: rpng, rpng2 and wpng. rpng and rpng2 are viewers; the first is a
very simple example that that shows how a standard file-viewer might use
libpng, while the second is designed to process streaming data and shows how
a web browser might be written. wpng is a simple command-line program that
reads binary PPM files (the ``raw'' RGB subset of NetPBM) and converts them
to PNG.

The source code for all three demo programs currently compiles only under
Unix and 32-bit Windows. It has been tested with gcc 2.7.2.3 under Linux and
Solaris and with Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 under Windows 95. Brief
instructions for compiling the programs are included at the top of the
makefiles; makefile.unx is the Unix version, and makefile.w32 is (you
guessed it!) the version for 32-bit Windows. libpng and zlib are required.
