# FindPNG

Find libpng, the official reference library for the PNG image format.

## Imported targets

New in version 3.5.

This module defines the following `IMPORTED` target:

`PNG::PNG`

  The libpng library, if found.

## Result variables

This module will set the following variables in your project:

`PNG_INCLUDE_DIRS`

  where to find png.h, etc.

`PNG_LIBRARIES`

  the libraries to link against to use PNG.

`PNG_DEFINITIONS`

  You should add_definitions(${PNG_DEFINITIONS}) before compiling code that includes png library files.

`PNG_FOUND`

  If false, do not try to use PNG.

`PNG_VERSION_STRING`

  the version of the PNG library found (since CMake 2.8.8)

## Obsolete variables

The following variables may also be set, for backwards compatibility:

`PNG_LIBRARY`

  where to find the PNG library.

`PNG_INCLUDE_DIR`

  where to find the PNG headers (same as PNG_INCLUDE_DIRS)

Since PNG depends on the ZLib compression library, none of the above will be defined unless ZLib can be found.
