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.
