if someone can add a tool to convert hpgl files to csv file, that will be wonderful.

some old electrical measurement equipment can only export hpgl or other image files, however, when doing analysis, it had better to using csv or other vector files easier to analyze.

please contact me at jackjiann@gmail.com, thanks.

HP-GL already is very close to CSV. In a text editor, convert all semicolons to newlines and search and remove all alphabetical chaeacters --scruss (talk) 02:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Floating point?[edit]

Does anyone have a reference for PU/PD/PA's argument as a float?

I've only ever seen integers. One of our references claims it's an integer, and it makes sense to use an integer if the units are resolution units for the plotter. 24.91.135.162 09:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do have a reference here that says coordinates are integers, though I have seen software that accepts floating point values for coordinates (e.g. Corel Draw) and even some programs that generate them. 80.171.178.230 (talk) 17:16, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PLT?[edit]

Searching for PLT brings up a disambiguation page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLT) containing an entry for "PLT File, graphics plot file". That entry links to the HPGL page, which only references PLT as an aside. RichMorin (talk) 20:14, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
