Here is an example of using several Notebook Options to achieve what you are looking for: CreateDocument[{Plot3D[ Cos[x] Sin[y], {x, -2 \[Pi], 2 \[Pi]}, {y, -2 \[Pi], 2 Pi}]}, WindowSize -> All, WindowMargins -> {{Automatic, Automatic}, {Automatic, 30}}, WindowElements -> {}, ShowCellBracket -> False] Hope this helps, David On Oct 29, 6:50 am, Januk <ggr... at sarj.ca> wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to display a 3D graphic in a separate window from my main > notebook.
