[Gmsh] Setting quality mesh options and Tetgen usage with API

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask you a question about quality mesh options and the API.
My geometry is given by a rectangular cuboid which has a spherical hole inside. I generated it and meshed it, but with my surprise some dihedral angles are very small (like 2, 3, 4 degrees).
I was wondering, how can I tweak quality mesh options directly within the API, since I am using gmsh classes within my C++ code? For example, using Tetgen and so on? I know that in the graphical interface you can choose "Optimize 3D", "Optimize with Tetgen", it would be helpful to do it in C++ as well!
Something like: GmshSetOption (.......). I couldn't find anything in the documentation :(

Cheers,
Andrea
