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)
