Presumably you are using Plot3D (or a related function). Here are
several ways:
1. Mouse over the graphic; the cursor becomes a pair of curved arrows.
Click and drag the mouse around to rotate.
2. Make some normally fixed plotting option that determines the
orientation variable, and wrap the whole thing in a Manipulate to
control that variable. For example:
Manipulate[
Plot3D[x^2-y^2, {x,-1,1}, {y,-1,1},
ViewPoint -> {1.3, yy, 2}],
{yy, -3, 3}]
3. Again use Manipulate, but this time let the parameter be a variable
argument to a Rotate or other geometric transformation function, e.g.:
g = Plot3D[x^2-y^2, {x,-1,1}, {y,-1,1}];
Manipulate[
Graphics3D[
Rotate[First@g, angle, {0, 0, 1}]
],
{angle,0,2Pi}]
