+LodePNG 4-bit palette example.
+This example encodes a 511x511 PNG with a 4-bit palette.
+Both image and palette contain sine waves, resulting in a sort of plasma.
+The 511 (rather than power of two 512) size is of course chosen on purpose to
+confirm that scanlines not filling up an entire byte size are working.
+
+NOTE: a PNG image with a translucent palette is perfectly valid. However there
+exist some programs that cannot correctly read those, including, surprisingly,
+Gimp 2.8 image editor (until you set mode to RGB).
