[Image-SIG] Opening TIFF and HPGL files using Python PIL getting IO Errors

[Edward Cannon]

HPGL is a vector format used for old HP printers, PIL doesn't open
vector art, so no help there, you need a separate converter to turn it
into a raster format. look at
http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/format-tiff.htm for
more information about loading tiff files in PIL.
