Hello,

To rotate a Meshes.jl graphic, I do:

```julia
  fig, ax, plt = MeshViz.viz(
    Meshes.Box(Meshes.Point(-2.5, -2.5, -0.5), Meshes.Point(2.5, 2.5, 1.5)); 
    alpha = 0
  ) # bounding box to fix the frame
  ax.show_axis = false
  draw(i) # my function which draws frame number i
  Makie.scale!(ax.scene, 1.6, 1.6, 1.6)
  Makie.rotate!(ax.scene, 1.5, 0, 0)

```

But I go blindly. I’d like to render the interactive graphic, to rotate it with the mouse until I get a satisfactory orientation, and then to get the parameters of this rotation, in order to pass them to `Makie.rotate!`. Is it possible to print the rotation parameters while moving the interactive graphic?

I hope my question is clear…
