frame {graphics}R Documentation

Create / Start a New Plot Frame

Description

This function (frame is an alias for plot.new) causes the completion of plotting in the current plot (if there is one) and an advance to a new graphics frame. This is used in all high-level plotting functions and also useful for skipping plots when a multi-figure region is in use.

Usage

plot.new()
frame()

Details

There is a hook called "plot.new" (see setHook) called immediately after advancing the frame, which is used in the testing code to annotate the new page. The hook function(s) are called with no argument. (If the value is a character string, get is called on it from within the graphics namespace.)
