Unfortunately no. When I repeat your commands, everything shows up on
the right screen. I tried (for fun) to use a negative number in
location but without success. If I put my workbench on the left
screen, I still have the same problem (showing on the right screen).
I'm on mac and the top IDL menu is showing up on my right screen
(because it's my main screen). Maybe other people experienced the same
problem on their 2 displays (or more) ?

Ah, I misunderstood.
I have a similar set-up. IDL on my right-hand screen and
graphics windows displayed on the left-hand screen. When
I do this:
img = Image(Dist(200))
The image appears over the top of my Workbench on the right-
hand screen. However, if I do this:
img = Image(Dist(200), Location=[50,100])
The image appears on my left-hand screen, positioned in the
correct location from the upper-left corner.
I can put the image on my right hand screen by doing something
like this:
img = Image(Dist(200), Location=[1650,100])
Is this not what you see?
Cheers,
David

Hi David,
That's what I'm doing. I retrieve the xoffset and the xsize of the
main gui and set the location as being xoffset+xsize.
If xoffset is 20, and xsize is 200, the plot is displayed at 220
pixels from the left of the right screen when my main gui is on the
left screen !

Shouldn't the offset of your plot be the offset of the GUI
*plus* the xsize of the GUI?
Cheers,
David
