Request for "radius" option in rviz for Path and Polygon display types (ros-pkg ticket #4517) #366

Open hershwg opened 11 years ago

hershwg commented 11 years ago

It would be nice to have a radius option for the Path and Polygon display types in rviz similar to what is available for the Axes display type. This would make navigation paths and the robot foot print easier to see, especially when doing a screen capture of RViz while running the Navigation stack.

Thanks!

[jfaust] I'll try to get to this for 1.3, but may not be able to.

+1 on having an option to set line width for Path display

For the Path display, this could be implemented by replacing the ManualObject (LINE_STRIP) instances by instances of rviz::BillboardLine. However, the question is how to not break existing visualizations; currently, I believe, each line is guaranteed to be 1 px wide, whereas then, the scale would also be dependent on camera distance.
