Dear Peter and Jeff, I've used RStudio in teaching for quite some time now. For displaying graphics, I open a windows() graphics device on a Windows PC or a quartz() device on a Mac. I explain to the students that they don't have to do this, but I'm doing it so that I can make the graphs larger. There are still some issues arising from the paned display, but I find it reasonably simple to adjust the size of the panes as needed during a demonstration, often pushing the vertical divider far to the right.

Is there a reason you don't just click the zoom button?
