How can I make R plot locally in a remote ssh connection?

Question

I'm currently connection via ssh to a remote computer where I have R set up in VIM. I'm using ubuntu on both sides.

When I try to plot something from R it will appear on the remote machine rather than the local. Is there any way I can make R plot locally instead?

You can use SSH with the -X switch to forward graphical parameters to your local machine.
