Chris,
I'm not sure I understand. What do you mean by 1 rotation? I have tested the
code by generating a 4x4 matrix for given x,y,z rotation angles and then
used the algorithm below to extract the original x,y and z angles (with a
small round-off error).

Daniel,
In the code you sent, isn't your code assuming that there is only one
rotation?
Chris.
BTW do you have the internet address of that FAQ?
