PLT (PLT)

PLT (also HPGL) is the standard language for printing line drawings created by Hewlett-Packard. HPGL is supported by many CAD programs, charting programs and word processors.

LEADTOOLS supports HPGL and HPGL/2.

It is possible to speed up the loading of large PLT files. For more information, refer to Using Filter Data to Speed up Loading Large Files.
