.SH NAME
Image::ExifTool::WritePNG.pl \- Write PNG meta information
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
These routines are autoloaded by Image::ExifTool::PNG.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This file contains routines to write PNG metadata.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
Compress::Zlib is required to write compressed text.
.PP
Existing text tags are always rewritten in their original form (compressed
zTXt, uncompressed tEXt or international iTXt), so pre-existing compressed
information can only be modified if Compress::Zlib is available.
.PP
Newly created textual information is written in uncompressed tEXt form by
default, or as compressed zTXt if the Compress option is used and
Compress::Zlib is available (but only if the resulting compressed data is
smaller than the original text, which isn't always the case for short text
strings).
