Plot
les can
be viewed
and
manipulated
on
a
PC
using
a
word
processor
or
graphics
presentation
program. Plot
les
contain
a
text
stream
of
HPGL
(Hewlett-P
ackard
Graphics
Language)
commands.
In
order
to
import
a
plot
le
into
an
application,
that
application
must
have
an
import
lter
for
HPGL
(often times
call HGL).
Two such
applications
from
the
Lotus
R

suite
of
products
are
the
word
processor \AmiPro"
and the
graphics presentation
package
\Freelance

When
viewed
in
such
programs
,
the
color
and
font
size
of
the
plot
may
vary
from
the
output
of
an
HPGL/2

printer
.
The
