HPGL Plotter File (PLT)
The HPGL Plotter File (PLT) format, developed by Hewlett-Packard®, is vector-based. It is used in programs such as AutoCAD for printing
drawings on plotters. Other Corel applications can interpret a SUBSET of the HPGL and HPGL/2 command set. This format uses a scaling
factor of 1,016 plotter units to 1 inch.
