Either look for Rplots.pdf in your current remote directory (after
leaving R), or make sure that you have an X11 display to which R can
connect and you can view remotely. The latter depends on how you are
connected and from which kind of system. If you are using SSH from
another Linux system running X11, it could be as simple as remembering
the -Y option to ssh. If you are running Windows, things are more
complicated (VNC is one option).
