Vector-based plotter file created by AutoCAD drawing software; can be printed using a plotter, which prints images using lines instead of dots; based on the HPGL format.
Data file created by Tecplot, a scientific visualization program; saves output data created through a scientific computation in the software; may contain multiple frames and datasets; used for rendering complex 2D and 3D visualizations and may be rendered to a static image or an animated visualization. Tecplot also offers an ASCII text format for data output. However, this format is discouraged for larger datasets since it renders much more slowly than the PLT binary format in the software.
The PLT file extension is associated with the OziExplorer GPS mapping software used for the upload and download waypoints, routes and tracks to GPS receivers. The .plt file contains saved plot track.
Files with the PLT extension identify Hewlett-Packard Graphics language plot files. PLT files store descriptions of vector images and contain instructions on how the image may be printed using a plotter. The PLT files store the specific instructions of how the plotter can print the graphics or images. PLT files can be opened using compatible design software tools.
