README.md says full documentation is on the wiki. It ain't. http://wiki.ros.org/interactive_marker_proxy

Whoops. Thanks for pointing that out.

There's some more documentation there now, but I'm not sure if it's enough to call it "full" yet. Is there any specific piece of information that you feel is still missing?

DLu commented 9 years ago

Nothing in particular. I put the basic API on there just for my own usage. I guess a demo or example, or further explanation of why it needs to be throttled.

T045T commented 9 years ago

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure why the Interactive Marker topic needs to be throttled. I don't know what frequency it usually updates at in a "production" environment, but the interactive_marker_tutorials basic_controls example updates at 2 Hz. Pose updates mostly come from /tf anyway, don't they? Maybe @rctoris or @dgossow know more?

rctoris commented 9 years ago

I'm in a similar position actually. I only know the bare-bones definition of what it's doing. I remember a lot of discussion went on in the early days as to why and how to implement this but was not fully involved at that point.
