Plugins

Plugin NameDescription
Attitude Indicator
Coordinate Picker Transforms coordinates of clicked points on the map to a specified frame. The most recent coordinate is placed on the clipboard, and a list of coordinates is displayed in the GUI.
Disparity Overlays a sensor_msgs::DisparityImage onto the display using the ‘‘jet’’ color map.
Draw Polygon Draw a polygon on the canvas and publish to a topic.
Float Displays the most recent value from a std_msgs::Float32/64, marti_common_msgs/Float32/64Stamped or a marti_sensor_msgs/Velocity message at a fixed location on the scene.
GPS Projects gps_common::GPSFix message data into the scene.
Grid Projects a 2D grid into the scene.
Image Overlays a sensor_msgs::Image onto the display.
LaserScan Projects a sensor_msgs::LaserScan message into the scene.
Marker Projects a visualization_msgs::Marker or visualization_msgs::MarkerArray into the scene. Markers are the most flexible display type and more or less mirror the OpenGL primitives.
Measuring Measure distance on the canvas with the mouse.
Move Base Allows the user to send goals to move_base.
Multi-Res Image Projects a geo-referenced multi-resolution image tile map into the scene. The concept is the same as the Google Maps style pan/zoom satellite imagery.
NavSat Projects sensor_msgs::NavSatFix message data into the scene.
Occupancy Grid
Odometry Projects nav_msgs::Odometry message data into the scene.
Path Projects nav_msgs::Path message data into the scene.
Plan Route
Point Click Publisher Publishes a geometry_msgs::PointStamped message every time a user clicks on the map frame that corresponds to the clicked location.
Point Drawing
Pointcloud2
Pose
Pose Array Displays an Array of Poses
Robot Image Projects an image loaded from file into the scene to represent the robot platform.
Route
String Displays the most recent string from a std_msgs::String message at a fixed location on the scene.
Textured Marker Projects marti_visualization_msgs::TexturedMarker and marti_visualization_msgs::TexturedMarkerArray message data into the scene. Textured markers follow the same general approach as traditional markers, but can be used to texture dense image data onto a quad which is projected into the scene.
TF Frame Projects Tf data into the scene similar to the Odometry plug-in.
Tile Map Projects a geo-referenced multi-resolution image tile map into the scene. Map tiles can be obtained from Bing Maps or any WMTS Tile Service. Pre-defined services that access Stamen Design (terrain, watercolor, and toner) are provided. Custom or local WMTS map servers can also be specified. Map data is cached to disk which enables some limited use completely offline.
