NAME

6       plsesc - Set the escape character for text strings

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 se‐
14       lected characters are allowed to prevent the user from shooting himself
15       in the foot (For example, a  isn't allowed since it conflicts with  C's
16       use  of  backslash as a character escape).  Here are the allowed escape
17       characters and their corresponding decimal ASCII values: !, ASCII 33 #,
18       ASCII 35 $, ASCII 36 %, ASCII 37 &, ASCII 38 *, ASCII 42 @, ASCII 64 ^,
19       ASCII 94 ~, ASCII 126
