Visual markers ROS wrapper (i.e: TFs in gazebo) #509

Open cs147 opened 7 years ago

cs147 commented 7 years ago

Anyone have experience getting a TF to show up in gazebo (like it would in rviz), or anything similar (like 3d points, vectors, or lines)? I am publishing some TFs right now and visualizing them with rviz, but it's annoying to have both rviz and gazebo open. Would be nice to just show the TFs in gazebo

We did not have anything like RVIZ visual markers in gazebo. There is a very recent pull request in Gazebo right now that implements markers. See the video: https://youtu.be/2OQc2Njjmcw. If it get reviewed on time, it will be released in gazebo8.

Since this is not really an issue (more a question or a request for comments) I would post it directly to answers.ros.org so it can get more attraction from the ROS community.

I'm going to leave this issue open as a 'request for feature' now that Markers are going to gazebo upstream.
