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.

X Windows Dump Image (.xwd)

The XWD (X Windows Dump) file extension refers to an uncompressed bitmap image format used by the X Window System to store screen captures or "screen dumps" of windows or backgrounds. Developed by the X Consortium, it captures images of graphical user interfaces on UNIX and Linux platforms. The format, originating with X10 and later used in X11, is known for its large file sizes due to the lack of compression. XWD files are typically used for debugging and documentation purposes within the realm of computer graphics.
