testure

they are available...?

* @testure * the matrix of the current position and orientation of the standard 3D manipulator (gizmo) is not available in the blender api. But the data of these matrices use a huge number of internal blender operators written in CPP, as well as 3D manipulators. Calculating these matrices on python is very slow for performance, and their number is quite large due to the different selection modes and object types.

* @testure * I have been asking the blender developers about this for years, but they say that you need to find a developer interested in this.

* @Max Derksen * Ah yes, that would be useful. Might I suggest that you clarify your proposal to specify the transformation gizmo? It's vague to the point that I thought you were talking about object matrices.
