A simple way, if your application is perfly-based you could add the
viewpoints directly into a foo.perfly file and load your database
from there. Have a look at town.perfly in /usr/share/Performer/data
for an example; modify the 'cmdline' list to whatever command-line
arguments you typically use and use the 'loc' lines to specify
various viewpoints. They are then switchable by the 'Reposition'
button in the perfly GUI.
