HPGL to DIS Conversion: FAQ
What are HPGL files?
The .hpgl file format (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) is a text-based vector format used to control plotters and printers. It contains simple ASCII commands that direct pen movements to draw lines, curves, and text. Originally created for HP plotters, it's widely used in CAD, engineering, and PCB design for precise technical drawings. Its simplicity and compatibility keep it relevant in many design and printing workflows.
What are DIS files?
The DIS extension is associated with the DKB Ray-Tracer, a piece of software originally created by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins, which served as a predecessor for the POV Ray-Tracer. The latter software has the capacity to generate images from text-based scene descriptions and works on various platforms. Though fairly popular on PC/MS-DOS platforms at its release, the DIS format is now obsolete. It can, however, be viewed and converted to more accessible formats.
