- 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.
- Image format that uses JPEG 2000 advanced wavelet compression; supports color depths of 8, 24, and 32 bits per pixel; also supports grayscale, RGB, YCbCr, XYZ, and Lab color spaces.
