R: Move to a New Page on a Grid Device

grid.newpage {grid} | R Documentation

## Move to a New Page on a Grid Device

### Description

This function erases the current device or moves to a new page.

### Usage

    grid.newpage(recording = TRUE)

### Arguments

`recording` | A logical value to indicate whether the new-page operation should be saved onto the Grid display list.

### Details

The new page is painted with the fill colour (`gpar("fill")`), which is often transparent. For devices with a canvas colour (the on-screen devices `X11`, `windows` and `quartz`), the page is first painted with the canvas colour and then the background colour.

There are two hooks called `"before.grid.newpage"` and `"grid.newpage"` (see `setHook`). The latter 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 grid namespace.)

### Value

None.
