- 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.
- The LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot Graphics File (RGF) is a proprietary binary file format used by the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 software to store robot graphic models. It is a vector-based file format that stores information such as the robot's 3D geometry, color and other visual properties, as well as the model's connection points, used for connecting with other LEGO elements.
