compare view transforms
i want to find out if the current model view is already set to a particular named view. what is the simplest/best way to do this? i haven't worked much with the mathtransform object, but i suspect there is an easy way to compare the rotation portions (xyz axes) of two transforms to check if they're equal.

answer i figured out how to do this, but there's probably an easier way. i grabbed the views' orientation matrices with orientation3. then i extracted the individual xyz vectors with getdata2. last step is to compare the normalized elements of each vector using arraydata. i can turn the code into a reusable function, but it seems like there should be a simple way to check if mathtransform1=mathtransform2.
