I guess this is a simple and very common function. But I cant figure out how to do so in python. And I am stupid.
I want to rotate a Point selection around the modelling axis.
Question 1:
How do I calculate the rotation? I need a deffiniton which includes Point, RotationAxisMatrix,Rotation as parameter. I have tried to figure that out without luck till now.
Question 2: Is there a python function to get the Matrix of the Modelling-Axis in componentsmode?

First you should first have a good understanding of how matrices work in Cinema. See Matrix Fundamentals in the Python documentation.

There's no direct function for this. Here's some code:
def GetModelingAxis(op) :
tool = plugins.FindPlugin(c4d.ID_MODELING_AXIS, c4d.PLUGINTYPE_TOOL)
# Get modeling axis bounds
posx = tool[c4d.MDATA_AXIS_BOUNDS_X]
posy = tool[c4d.MDATA_AXIS_BOUNDS_Y]
posz = tool[c4d.MDATA_AXIS_BOUNDS_Z]
# Get center and bounding box of object
mp = op.GetMp()
rad = op.GetRad()
# Initialize modeling axis with center of object
maxis = c4d.Matrix()
maxis.off = mp
# Change offset of modeling axis according to bounds
maxis.off.x += rad.x*posx;
maxis.off.y += rad.y*posy;
maxis.off.z += rad.z*posz;
return maxis

Hi Yanick, I have tried the Code you posted but it returns allways zero.
Is it possible that this function is broken?
Can you get it to work?

Hey,
here are some lines to rotate selected points around the object axis. Hope it helps.

for i, sel in enumerate(ref.GetPointS().GetAll(ref.GetPointCount())) : #iterate all points
if sel: #check if point is selected
p = ref.GetPoint(i) #local position of point[i]
p_rot = p*~rot_mat #global position of point[i] out of the rotation matrix
new_p = ref_mg*p_rot #global position of point[i] into reference matrix to get the new local position
clone.SetPoint(i, new_p)
clone.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)
ref.Touch()
return clone
