[R] Help with rgl

[Iuri Gavronski]

The funniest part is that we are close to carnival in Brazil...
vacation time... more than 30C... and I am the one to try to get back
to the track...

Any clue on how to rotate the object? Examples?

Also, still on the same object. If I change zoom, position, etc. with
the mouse, where to query this information, for reproducing the same
image later on?

Best,

Iuri.
