Ah, sorry. I wasn't aware that both don't work in 3D plots.
Well, you could derive it from the source code, but that's also by
no means a clean solution, plus sounds tricky. What's wrong with
using an empirical value instead?

There are two variables GPVAL_VIEW_ROT_(X/Z) that would allow you to
always have a plotted circle's normal always point in the viewers
direction, but they only update upon "replot", not during mousing.
