HPGL to EMF Conversion: FAQ

What are HPGL files?

The .hpgl file format (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) is a text-based vector format used to control plotters and printers. It contains simple ASCII commands that direct pen movements to draw lines, curves, and text. Originally created for HP plotters, it's widely used in CAD, engineering, and PCB design for precise technical drawings. Its simplicity and compatibility keep it relevant in many design and printing workflows.

What are EMF files?

EMF (Enhanced Metafile) is a format used by the Windows operating system to store spooling information connected to printing. The term "spooling" comes from the acronym for "simultaneous peripheral operations online" and represents the creation of a list of tasks scheduled for completion by Windows at a later time. EMF files can contain vector or bitmap components and they replaced the original WMF (Windows Metafile) format, using a 32-bit structure instead of a 16-bit one and thus providing better quality of printing.
