GetPositionAndRotation(Vector3, Quaternion)

public void GetPositionAndRotation(out Vector3 position, out Quaternion rotation)

Parameters

position

Vector3
Out parameter that will receive the position of the transform in world space.

rotation

Quaternion
Out parameter that will receive the rotation of the transform in world space.

Remarks

Note: When getting both the 
position
and 
rotation
of a 
TransformHandle
, calling this method is more efficient than querying to TransformHandle.position and TransformHandle.rotation individually.
The typical usage for this method is to retrieve a transform's 
position
and 
rotation
in world space, to either display them or evaluate them. For example:
 transformHandle.GetPositionAndRotation(out Vector3 position, out Quaternion rotation)
The following example logs the position and rotation of a 
GameObject
's 
TransformHandle
in world space.
using UnityEngine;// Attach this script to a GameObject as a component.public class GetPositionAndRotationExample : MonoBehaviour{    void Start()    {        // transformHandle refers to the <see cref="UnityEngine.TransformHandle"></see> of the <see cref="UnityEngine.GameObject"></see> this script is attached to.        transformHandle.GetPositionAndRotation(out Vector3 position, out Quaternion rotation);        // We will convert the rotation <see cref="UnityEngine.Quaternion"></see> to Euler angles for readability.        Debug.Log($"{name} is located at {position}, and has the rotation {rotation.eulerAngles}");    }}
