rviz_visual_tools
A C++ API wrapper for displaying shapes, meshes, and markers in Rviz for debugging and visualizing robot data.
What is rviz_visual_tools?
Rviz Visual Tools is a C++ API wrapper that simplifies the display of shapes, meshes, and markers in Rviz, the 3D visualization tool for ROS. It provides helper functions for publishing visualizations, enabling robotics developers to debug and visualize data like coordinate frames, paths, and geometric primitives efficiently. The tool reduces the complexity of directly interacting with ROS marker messages, speeding up development and testing workflows.
Robotics developers and researchers using ROS who need to visualize and debug robot data, such as sensor readings, planning algorithms, or simulation outputs, within Rviz.
Developers choose Rviz Visual Tools for its comprehensive set of pre-built visualization functions, batch publishing capabilities to optimize performance, and seamless integration with ROS and Eigen, eliminating the need to write low-level marker code from scratch.
