+
+The GIF stream metadata format encodes the information stored in the
+per-file header, namely the file version, logical screen descriptor,
+and the global color table.
+
+<p>
+
+The logical screen descriptor describes the overall width and height
+of an animated file, as well as information about the color resolution
+(number of bits per pixel) and pixel aspect ratio.
+
+<p>
+
+The global color table contains a color lookup table that is used for
+images that do not have their own local color table.

+GIF Image Metadata Format Specification
+</h2></center>
+</a>
+<p>
+
+The GIF image metadata format encodes the image descriptor, local
+color table, and extension information assciated with a single image
+within a GIF file, typically a frame of an animation.
+
+<p>
+
+The image description contains the offset of the frame within the
+logical screen described in the stream metadata, as well as the width
+and height of the frame and whether it is used interlaced encoding.
+
+<p>
+
+The local color table, if present, supersedes the global color table
+for the frame at hand.
+
+<p>
+
+The graphic control extension contains information on how the frame is
+to be incorporated into the animation. The disposal method indicates
+whether the current frame should remain in place
+(<code>doNotDispose</code>), be restored to the backgound color as
+specified in the stream metadata
+(<code>restoreToBackgroundColor</code>), or be restored to the
+previous frame contents (<code>restoreToPrevious</code>) prior to
+displaying the subsequent frame.
+
+<p>
+
+The user input flag indicates whether the animation should pause for
+user input before advancing to the next frame. The transparent color
+flag and index indicate a color index for which pixels of the frame
+should not be drawn. The delay time indicates how long the frame
+should be displayed, in hundredths of a second. If the user input
+flag is set and the delay time is 0, the frame is intended to be
+advanced only on user input.
