Fixing the rgl package for mobile
Combining R and JavaScript
By Lucio Cornejo in rmarkdown frontend

The rgl
package provides R another way of creating interactive
graphics for the broswer. However, such interactivity only
completely works for desktop. Therefore, rgl
graphics could
not be rotated when interacted via a tablet or mobile, which
was the necessary case for the doctoral project of my
future thesis advisor.
In this project, I implement a solution via JavaScript in order
to replicate, for non desktop users, the rotation of the graphics
provided by the rgl
package.
