Getting HPB values from matrix

Hello.

I frequently need to get the HOB rotation values from a matrix, and I don't like using the workaround of setting a dummy object's matrix with SetMg() then getting the HPB values with GetAbsRot().

Does anyone have the formula handy? Thanks.

  print rot  
    
  c4d.EventAdd()   
  
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

Ah, yes. How embarrassing. Forgot about that..

Thank you, Scott.

Thanks, Scott, for solving this issue 

Just a link for future readers, here's the docs of utils module, which contains quite a bunch of these little helpers.
