Handy for exporting AutoCad drawings to desktop publishing programs.

Hewlet Packard Graphic Language to be exact.
You can take an HPGL file to any blueprint shop and they can plot it directly to their plotter (is
the standard in file types for almost all plotters). It is in effect the "plot file" output
captured as a file rather than going to the plotter much the same as you can catch a "print file"
as a file rather than send it to your printer.
