Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (.hpgl)

The HPGL file extension, short for Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language, is a file format and printer control language developed by Hewlett-Packard in 1977 for use with their plotter printers, starting with the HP-9872. HPGL files contain commands that instruct plotters to draw images using lines rather than dots, making them essential in CAD applications and technical drawings. The language uses a series of two-letter codes followed by parameters to control the plotter's actions, such as moving the pen or drawing shapes.

Portable Floatmap (.pfm)

The Portable Floatmap (PFM) file format, also known as Portable FloatMap, is an image file format designed to store High Dynamic Range (HDR) images using floating-point values. Developed in the spirit of the Portable Pixmap format, PFM files contain image data with resolutions and byte order specified in the header. This format is particularly useful for applications requiring precise image data, such as computer graphics and image processing. PFM has been widely adopted in the IT industry for its ability to handle a wide range of pixel values beyond the standard 0-255 range, making it ideal for HDR imaging and other advanced visualizations.
