They are based on the HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) standard and are commonly used for CAD drawings, architectural plans, and engineering designs. EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files are also vector-based, widely used in desktop publishing and graphic design for their compatibility with various software and high-quality output.
