[R] 3D plot/surface rotation

[Ben Bolker]

  Another possibility (to plug my own stuff) is to use the "LG3d" package 
in my bbmisc package (http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/R/src for source, 
http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/R/windows/ for precompiled windows package), 
which uses the Live3D java applet to display (rotatable etc.) graphics in 
a web browser.  Not as good as x/ggobi for interaction with data, but 
possibly OK for display.
