A PLT file is a vector graphics file created by Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HPGL), a line drawing programming language used by plotters. It contains instructions for the plotter that define the shape and size of the lines drawn on a page. PLT files are generated by computer-aided design (CAD) applications and store vector graphics data in a text-based format.
More information
HPGL was developed by Hewlett-Packard in 1974 and became an industry standard for vector graphics. Because PLT files are made of a series of points and lines rather than pixels, they can be scaled up or down without losing any detail or clarity. PLT files can be opened with a text editor to view the instructions used to create the file. Dedicated software can also be used for opening PLT files.
