RStudio - Plots in multiple windows

Question

I'm using RStudio, and I want to view plots in a separate window to the console. How can I do this?

Additional Information

• Windows 7
• RStudio version 3.2.2 (32 bit)
• Currently running a "Swirl" lesson, so the plots pop up automatically as I advance down the console
