R help - Oct 2011 - rgl device on web

Hello,

I'm looking for help putting an interactive rgl package 3d device on the web
so that it maintains full functionality. Where should I start? Is it
possible? Is there an example I can see? (Note: I'm also looking at putting
other normal plots on the web.) I'd like to stay within R as much as
possible...  I didn't find much online regarding rgl 3d plots.

Thanks,

Ben

There are some 3d file formats that allow manipulation similar to what 
rgl does, but currently rgl can't write output to any of those formats. 
  Last time I looked they were all proprietary, and it wasn't clear 
which one would be the winner, so I've never tried coding any of them.

So if you pick one format, you'll need to code (in C++) what's necessary
to write out the rgl scene to such a file.  I'd be happy to include such 
code into rgl if you do it, but there's zero chance I'll look into this 
again in the next 4-6 months.
