Color format

[nyovaya]

In which concrete color format does this library decode to?

for RGB is it: RGB or BGR?
or for RGBA is it: ARGB, ABGR, RGBA or BGRA?

Or is it specified by the png documentation?

Also Im using ARGB in my application as another library requires it - is there some crate(of this organisation or some other) which allows me convert the RGBA/RGB(any order) data to ARGB?

It decodes to RGB or RGBA. If you want to convert to a different order, just iterate over the output data pixel by pixel and permute the channels.

Semi-related: Perhaps it would be nice to support cint for color interoperability with other crates?

It would but the crate needs to go 1.0 for this to really be considerably better. An unstable compatibility crate makes little to no sense because it necessarily ends up getting stuck on a particular major version in order to fulfill its primary objective. For example, see rgb which is 0.8 for three years now for precisely this reason. This was also a motivation to choose bytemuck over other transmutation crates, even though it isn't (yet) in the interface.

We'd also have to figure out exactly what supporting cint meant. I'm not convinced their interface matches what we'd need.
