What other graphics languages are there?

HPGL is for pen plotters. PCL is for HP Laser printers (and compatibles). Both are by HP, and PCL5 is supposed to allow inclusion of HPGL commands, preceded by an appropriate escape code, however I have found this to give errors and abort even for simple HPGL code that plots fine on a plotter.
