NAME

       plsesc - Set the escape character for text strings

SYNOPSIS

       plsesc(esc)

DESCRIPTION

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

       Redacted form: General: plsesc(esc) Perl/PDL: Not available?

       This function is used in example 29.

ARGUMENTS
