Convert HPGL to SVGZ

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.

SVGZ, or Scalable Vector Graphics Compressed, is a file extension for compressed SVG files, utilizing the GZIP compression method. Introduced to optimize web performance, SVGZ retains the scalability and resolution independence of SVG while reducing file size, leading to faster load times and reduced bandwidth usage. This format is particularly valuable in web development, digital graphics, and applications requiring efficient transmission and rendering of vector graphics. SVGZ emerged as part of efforts to enhance web technologies, catering to the increasing demand for high-quality, scalable visuals in a more efficient manner.
