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  con-
       flicts with C's use of backslash as a character escape).  Here are the allowed escape characters and their corresponding decimal ASCII val-
       ues: !, 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)
	      Escape character.
