Historically, a figure in a paper is a static, in that it offers one unchanging view of the data authors wish to present. Often, though, adding an opporutnity to either manipulate a figure or see it in context lets a reader learn more. By using visualization software capable of outputting to formats that allow for interactivity, authors are not limited to a single view of a figure, and readers can explore beyond what an author-provided default view provides.
