NAME
       plbop - Begin a new page

SYNOPSIS
       plbop()

DESCRIPTION
       Begins a new page.  For a file driver, the output file is opened if necessary.  Advancing the page via pleop(3plplot) and plbop(3plplot) is
       useful when a page break is desired at a particular point when plotting to subpages.  Another use for pleop(3plplot) and plbop(3plplot)	is
       when  plotting  pages  to  different  files,  since  you  can  manually	set  the  file	name by calling plsfnam(3plplot) after the call to
       pleop(3plplot). (In fact some drivers may only support a single page per file, making this a necessity.)  One way to handle this case auto-
       matically  is  to page advance via pladv(3plplot), but enable familying (see plsfam(3plplot)) with a small limit on the file size so that a
       new family member file will be created on each page break.

       Redacted form: plbop()

       This function is used in examples 2,20.
