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 77,
see
plsescfortran77(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)
