NAME

6       pltext - Switch to text screen

SYNOPSIS

9       pltext()
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Sets  an  interactive  device  to  text  mode, used in conjunction with
13       plgra(3plplot) to allow graphics and text to  be  interspersed.   On  a
14       device  which supports separate text and graphics windows, this command
15       causes control to be switched to the text window.  This can  be  useful
16       for  printing  diagnostic  messages  or getting user input, which would
17       otherwise interfere with the plots.  The program must  switch  back  to
18       the  graphics window before issuing plot commands, as the text (or con‐
19       sole) device will probably become quite confused otherwise.  If already
20       in  text  mode, this command is ignored.  It is also ignored on devices
21       which only support a single window or use a different method for shift‐
22       ing focus (see also plgra(3plplot)).
