How can I do a spinning plot in R?

You can spin surfaces in the R<-->GL packages, e.g. Duncan Murdoch's at http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/default.htm and (perhaps: I have not tried this one) Daniel Adler's at http://wsopuppenkiste.wiso.uni-goettingen.de/~dadler/rgl/
Although I have not tried this myself, I saw one of the PhD students from our department gave a seminar a few months ago on Daniel Adler's RGL package. It looks pretty pretty cool.
From memory, he showed a multiple linear regression using RGL and
demonstrated how one can rotate the fitted surface. One can also change the light/shading as well. (He was using RH Linux, but there is a Windows version available too).
