SYNOPSIS

9       plsesc(esc)
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Set the escape character for text strings.  From C (in contrast to For‐
13       tran, see plsescfortran(3plplot)) you pass esc  as  a  character.  Only
14       selected  characters are allowed to prevent the user from shooting him‐
15       self in the foot (For example, a  isn't allowed since it conflicts with
16       C's  use  of  backslash  as  a character escape).  Here are the allowed
17       escape characters and their  corresponding  decimal  ASCII  values:  !,
18       ASCII 33 #, ASCII 35 $, ASCII 36 %, ASCII 37 &, ASCII 38 *, ASCII 42 @,
19       ASCII 64 ^, ASCII 94 ~, ASCII 126
