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.)
