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 SHP files?
