object collision detection inside gepetto-viewer #154

Closed ahmadgazar closed 4 years ago

ahmadgazar commented 4 years ago

Hi, I am new with gepetto-viewer. I am trying to visualize collisions of an object I placed inside the gui with the robot. what is the optimal way of doing so? Are there some tutorials/examples I can look into? Thanks in advance.

gepetto-viewer doesn't do collision detection.

To emphasize that two objects are in collision, you can highlight them using gui.setHighlight(name, highlight_id). The id goes from 0 to 8 (included). 0 means no highlight. 1 is best suited to highlight collision.

If you want to display the closest points, the best is to use addLine.
