HPGL files: Frequently Asked Questions

What are HPGL files?

HPGL (filename extension .hpgl or .hpg) is a vector graphics file format developed by Hewlett-Packard for controlling pen plotters. Introduced in the late 1970s, it became an industry standard for technical drawing applications, computer-aided design (CAD), and large-format printing.
