Rottation of R 3d plots not working properly with webgl (when there are mutliple figures per page)

[karoliskoncevicius]

This was initially posted as a question on stack overflow. But then after googling around I found this issue tracker. I am pasting the same text here:

I am trying to use rgl knitr and webgl to plot several interactive 3d plots in a sequence.

And I am getting quite a weird behavior: when trying to rotate the plots with a mouse they seem to get back to their initial position after each mouse drag. This makes the interaction quite unintuitive. I noticed that the last plot on a page is not affected by this, but all the rest are.

This can be seen on the original knitr example:

plots: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15335397/misc/webgl-rmd.html

Notice the differences when trying to rotate the first and second figure.

What could be a potential cause? Maybe the problem can be solved by passing some additional parameters to the 3d and rgl plots (was not able to find any)? Or is it a minor bug of knitr and webgl?

Should be fixed now. Thanks!
