How to open a graphics device on another monitor using R

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.
