30 <title>Introduction to Libungif</title>
31
32 <para>The <application>libungif</application> package contains libraries
33 for reading all GIFs and writing non-compressed ones as well as programs
34 for converting and working with GIF files. The libraries are useful for any
35 graphics program wishing to deal with GIF files while the programs are useful
36 for conversion purposes as well as cleaning up images.</para>
37
38 <para>The reason <application>libungif</application> only writes non-compressed
39 GIFs is due to a legal issue with LZW compression (which Unisys claimed a patent
40 on). Reading GIFs is not a problem as the decompression routines do not seem to
41 be limited in this way. Note that this has in the past been disputed. The best way to
42 avoid this whole mess is to simply use <application>libungif</application> for
43 looking at GIF images on the web, while in any pages which you design, use the open
44 source PNG format instead (which uses, not surprisingly, the
45 <application>libpng</application> library) which has no patent issues at all.</para>
