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.
