Preprocesses the input file(s) with pngcrush -reduce + (and optionally -blacken to clean up "dirty" transparent pixels) + + 2. Uses pngcrush to write 6 test files, with 5 PNG filters and adaptive + filtering. + + 3. Extracts the IDAT contents from each of the 6 files. + + 4. Recompresses the IDAT contents with zopfli (25 iterations). + + 5. Reassembles the PNG file using the smallest of the zopfli-compressed + results. + + 6. Postprocesses the PNG file with "pngfix" to optimize the windowBits + field, to minimize memory use during later decompression. + + Pngzop requires zopfli, pngcrush (version 1.7.65 or later), zpipe (from the + "examples" directory of the zlib-1.2.7 or later distribution,), pngfix + (from the libpng-1.6.3 or later distribution), and "mkdir -p", + along with these programs that should have been installed from their "C" + sources along with this "pngzop" script: + + pngzop_get_ihdr.exe + pngzop_get_idat.exe + pngzop_get_iend.exe + pngzop_zlib_to_idat.exe + + DISCLAIMERS: + + The pngcrush computer program is supplied "AS IS".
