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  95,  see
       plsescfortran95(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
       esc (char, input)
              Escape character.
