- 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 WBMP (Wireless Bitmap Image) file format is a monochrome graphics format optimized for mobile computing devices with limited display capabilities. It was developed for use in the early days of mobile internet to display images on mobile phones and other wireless devices with minimal processing power and storage. WBMP files contain bitmap images that are typically small and use a black and white color palette, making them highly efficient for fast loading times and minimal data usage.
