<title>Introduction to Libungif</title>
<para>The <application>libungif</application> package contains libraries
for reading all GIFs and writing non-compressed ones as well as programs
for converting and working with GIF files. The libraries are useful for any
graphics program wishing to deal with GIF files while the programs are useful
for conversion purposes as well as cleaning up images.</para>
<para>The reason <application>libungif</application> only writes non-compressed
GIFs is due to a legal issue with LZW compression (which Unisys claimed a patent
on). Reading GIFs is not a problem as the decompression routines do not seem to
be limited in this way. Note that this has in the past been disputed. The best way to
avoid this whole mess is to simply use <application>libungif</application> for
looking at GIF images on the web, while in any pages which you design, use the open
source PNG format instead (which uses, not surprisingly, the
<application>libpng</application> library) which has no patent issues at all.</para>
