There's no general support for that, but you could conceivably write it 
yourself using getGraphicsEvent.  The example code there adjusts xlim 
and ylim according to mouse movements.  It works reasonably well in 
Windows or the device in the cairoDevice package, and is sometimes 
acceptable in X11.  Other devices don't have the necessary support for it.
