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.

PostScript (.ps)

The PostScript (PS) file extension stands for "PostScript", a dynamic page description language developed by Adobe in the early 1980s. Primarily used for desktop publishing, vector graphics, and printing tasks, PS files are particularly beneficial in ensuring high-quality output across various devices. As a precursor to PDFs, they encode textual and graphical content with great precision, facilitating consistent rendering on any platform. Renowned for their robust and flexible nature, PostScript files have played a pivotal role in digital typography and printing, underpinning many modern typesetting applications and output systems.
