+# png-js
+This is a modified version of [png.js](https://github.com/react-pdf/png.js) that is intended to be used for palette swapping within the browser.
+
+## Usage
+The following shows the process of loading a PNG file and rendering it to a canvas with its palette data reversed.
+
+```
+import { IndexedPNG }   from '@kettek/png-js/src'
+import { readFile   }   from 'fs'
+
+readFile("my_png.png", (err, data) => {
+    if (err) throw err
+    
+    // Create an IndexedPNG object from our data.
+    let png = new IndexedPNG(data)
+    
+    // Preemptively decode PNG data (optional).
+    png.decode()
+    
+    // Convert our PNG data into an ImageData, usable by a Canvas. Passed options provide a reversed palette and a clipping.
+    png.toImageData({
+      palette: png.decodePalette().reverse(),
+      clip: {
+        x: 16,
+        y: 16,
+        w: 32,
+        h: 32
+      }
+    })
+    .then(imageData => {
+      // This presumes at least one canvas element exists on the page.
+      document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0]
+      .getContext('2d')
+      .putImageData(imageData, 0, 0)
+    })
+    .catch(err => {
+        throw err
+    })
+})
+```
+
+## Types
+### IndexedPNG
+
+IndexedPNG([Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_class_buffer))
+:  processes PNG data but does not decode it.
+
+async decodePixels()
+: Decodes the PNG pixel data and returns it.
+
+decodePalette()
+: Decodes the PNG palette and returns it as a [Palette](#palette).
+
+async decode()
+: Decodes the palette and the pixel data of the PNG data passed into the constructor. Calls `decodePixels()` and `decodePalette()`.
+
+[ImageData](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ImageData) async toImageData([ImageDataOptions](#imagedataoptions)) 
+: Returns ImageData. Calls `decode()` automatically if PNG has not been decoded.
+  
+### ImageDataOptions
+Object containing options to apply during `toImageData()`.
+
+
+| Property | Type                | Description
+|----------|---------------------|---------------
+| palette  | [Palette](#palette) | Palette data to use for decoding.
+| clip     | [Clip](#clip)       | Clipping options to use for decoding.
+ 
+#### Palette
+A [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_class_buffer) or Array containing the palette RGBA palette data.
+
+```
+let palette = [
+    255, 0  ,  0  , 255, // Index 0
+    0  , 255,  0  , 255, // Index 1
+    0  , 0  ,  255, 255, // Index 2
+    ...
+]
+```
+#### Clip
+Options to clip pixel data.
+
+| Property | Type   | Defaults     | Description
+|----------|--------|--------------|-------------
+| x        | Number | 0            | Starting X coordinate.
+| y        | Number | 0            | Starting Y coordinate.
+| w        | Number | width - x    | Width of clip.
+| h        | Number | height - y   | Height of clip.
+
+```
+let clip = {
+    x: 16,
+    y: 16,
+    w: 32,
+    h: 32,
+}
+```
