I assume that you are using the GUI version then. There are a couple of ways you can do this.
1. With R running click on the "Edit" menu, then on "GUI preferences" and a new dialog box will pop up. At the top choose the SDI radio button. Save the settings, quit R and restart. Now every window (terminal, graphics, script, etc.) will be in its own window rather than embedded in a single bigger window, just drag the graphics window(s) to the other monitor. 2. Install one of the cairo packages and use the cairo graphics device. This has a separate window for the graphics that can be dragged to the other monitor. There are probably other ways as well, but those 2 should be fairly straight forward. (I have not tested them on windows 7, but they should work the same as on other windows versions). -- Gregory (Greg) L.
