HP to DDS Conversion
What are HP files?
HPGL (.hp) File Format, short for Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language, is a file format and language used primarily for plotter and vector-based printing devices. Files with the .hp or .hpgl extension are typically plain text instructions that describe how a plotter should draw lines, curves, and text on a physical medium like paper or film.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
