- Description
- The HPGL file format, standing for HP Graphics Language Plotter File, is a specialized file type developed by Hewlett-Packard. It is primarily used for controlling plotter devices, which are printers that draw images with lines instead of dots, making them ideal for engineering and architectural drawings. HPGL files contain a series of two-letter instruction codes followed by parameters that direct the plotter's drawing operations, such as moving to a point, drawing a line, or selecting a pen.
- A cube file, also known as a Cube Color Lookup Table, is a color palette file type used in the fields of 3D graphics and media production. It stores a 3D cube of color values which can be used to map colors in 3D images.
