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)

       This function is used in example 29.

ARGUMENTS
