You can set the rotation angles in a script, using either a quaternion
or Euler angles. For example, using Euler angles :


Point(1) = {0,0,0};
Point(2) = {1,0,0};
Point(3) = {1,1,0};
Point(4) = {0,1,0};
Line(1) = {4,3};
Line(2) = {3,2};
Line(3) = {2,1};
Line(4) = {1,4};
Line Loop(5) = {1,2,3,4};
Plane Surface(6) = {5};
Extrude {0,0.0,1} { Surface{6}; }

General.Trackball = 0;
General.RotationX = Asin(Tan(Pi/6)) * 180/Pi;
General.RotationY = 45;
General.RotationZ = 0;
