如何在Linux中打开R图形窗口？

Question

When running an R script in Windows, the command windows() opens an annex windows to plot the graphs. This is very handy when running simulations with several time steps.

But I moved to Linux and I want to do the same when running from then terminal with the command Rscript. I tried replacing windows() with dev.new() but the only results is a pdf with the series of graphs. I just want to see the graph, but not store it.

Is there another approach?

As comments also mentioned, you can use

 X11(display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg, canvas, fonts, family, xpos, ypos, title, type, antialias)

for example following would lead to a 10x10 inches square plot

 X11(width=10, height=10)
