I use a Windows OS and work with three monitors arranged as follows:
3
2 1
I code on window 1, run the R console on window 2, and have other reference material in window 3. At present when I open a graphics device in R it defaults to window 1, and I would prefer it to open by default on window 3, where it less likely to get lost behind the code.
I have tried:
windows() with xpos and ypos parameters, but this only permits repositioning on window 1.
What else can I try?
I’m reasonably sure R doesn’t have any control over this. You need to consult the documentation for your display drivers. The display drivers for my work PC have a setting that controls on which screen new windows are displayed.
