You can change the DisplayFunction of the command to a NotebookWrite, e.g., DisplayFunction -> (NotebookWrite[nb, Cell[GraphicsData["PostScript", DisplayString[#]], "Graphics"] ]&) where nb is the NotebookObject of the target notebook. -Dale Barthelet, Luc wrote in message <73ls50$38k at smc.vnet.net>... > >I am building a simulator in Mathematica and for once, I would rather be >able to output the graphics in a different window than my usual >notebook.
