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.
