Convert HPGL to SVG

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.

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, a versatile file format developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1999. This XML-based format is primarily used for defining vector-based graphics for the web, enabling smooth scaling and high-quality rendering on various display resolutions. SVG's scalability, interactivity, and animation support make it ideal for responsive web design, complex illustrations, diagrams, and data visualizations. Its textual nature ensures easy editing and integration with other web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, promoting seamless user experiences and streamlined workflows in modern web development.
