Programmatically reset the (brushed) state of a plot?

[lianos]

This question pertains to the use of rbokeh within the context of a shiny application.

Is there a way to programmatically fire an event from the R side that would have the same affect as hitting the "Reset" button in an rbokeh plot's toolbar?

There are a few cases where I've found the need to do this. One of the (initially) more surprising ones is when you've got a plot on display that the user is interacting with, ie. has select a lasso-like tool and brushed an area of the plot.

Now imagine that the data that is being plotted is held in a reactive data frame. If the content of the data changes, this will trigger a re-execution of the rendering block, ie:

output$rbokeh_scatterplot <- renderRbokeh({
  req(data()) %>%
    figure() %>%
    ly_points(x, y)
})

It seems to me that the "region" that was previously brushed "sticks" and remains brushed after the redraw. In this example, I would like to call a function (or manually handcraft some javascript for now, until a function is made available) that ensures that the brush is obliterated (ie. equivalent of hitting the "reset" toolbar button) before the plot is redrawn.

Is this currently possible in anyway?
