Description
For my application, I want to have a div that can be associated to and show different graphs one after another. Simply re-using the same div when constructing a new Paper object produces unexpected effects e.g. while dragging elements. Is there any method to properly "shutdown" a paper object before creating a new one on the very same div? I guess easiest might then even be to call paper.remove() and create a new div every time I want to switch to a different graph?
I think somehow changing the paper's associated graph (model) could be more performant, as it wouldn't require that much DOM manipulation. Is there a way to change paper.model after constructing the paper?

Research direction
Start by tracing the Paper lifecycle around its div, including paper.remove() and the paper.model association described in the issue. Determine how switching graphs on one div should behave without stale interactions; done means repeated graph changes work correctly while dragging and avoid unnecessary DOM replacement.
