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.
The VDA file extension, associated with Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter (TARGA), is a raster graphics file format developed by Truevision Inc. It was designed for high-color and true-color display on IBM-compatible PCs, supporting resolutions matching NTSC and PAL video formats. VDA files are used for digital photos, textures, and video editing, offering various color depths (8 to 32 bits) and alpha channel transparency. The format includes both lossless and lossy compression options, ensuring high-quality image preservation.
