NAME
       pltext - Switch to text screen


SYNOPSIS
       pltext()


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

       Redacted form: pltext()

       This function is used in example 1.
