Next: Multiple Displays, Up: Frames
To create a new frame, call the function make-frame
.
This function creates a new frame. If you are using a supported window system, it makes a window frame; otherwise, it makes a terminal frame.
The argument is an alist specifying frame parameters. Any parameters not mentioned in alist default according to the value of the variable
default-frame-alist
; parameters not specified even there default from the standard X resources or whatever is used instead on your system.The set of possible parameters depends in principle on what kind of window system Emacs uses to display its frames. See Window Frame Parameters, for documentation of individual parameters you can specify.
