PlotLib is our HPGL Plot PLT file read and write library. PlotLib is
capable of reading and writing a HPGL Plot PLT file. PlotLib has been
used in all our PLT file import and export plug-ins for various
CAD systems.
The PLT File Format
HPGL is the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language designed for specifying 2D
graphical information for the HP range of plotters. It was not intended
as an interchange format but some software suppliers use it as such.
HPGL is a command set embedded in the ROM of pen plotters to help reduce
the work required by applications programmers to create plotted output.
HPGL uses two-letter mnemonics as instructions for drawing lines,
circles, text, and simple symbols. HPGL is the primary printer control
language used by Hewlett-Packard plotters. It later became a standard
for almost all plotters.
