The R.devices package provides functions for this. For instance, you
can open several devices with different labels and the close then in
whatever order you'd like:

You could keep track of the device number using dev.cur() when you
create the plot, and some combination of
dev.set()
dev.list()
dev.close(which=mydev)
to manage them.

Hi Dan,
The range of device numbers seems to be 1-63. There doesn't appear to be a
means of explicitly setting the device number when calling dev.new, and
devices are numbered sequentially when they are opened. This means that
even if you did know that the device number was, say, 4 it would be

"which" is the index of the device, but is there a way to assign a custom
number (or name) to a windows device so that specific window can be later
closed via dev.off (or some other method) if it is open?
