### `plbop`: Begin a new page

`plbop` ();

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