ASCII Characters in labels


Question:

How can I make a percent sign in a label?

Example:

[Output Graphic]

Explanation:

The ASCII Simplex and ASCII Complex fonts allow you to use all of the ASCII characters. The above graphic was made with:
  yes? GO ptest
  yes? label -300,200,-1,0,.3 @AS @#$%^&*()_-+={[}]|\<,>.?/
Note that the following characters are not available because they are interpreted by Ferret:    ` ! " '

(That's backtic, bang, double quote and single quote.)

For more information on fonts and labels please see Chapter 8 of the Plot Plus Users' Guide.
