man plsesc () - Set the escape character for text strings
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
ARGUMENTS
- esc (char, input)
- Escape character.
