Dear all,

I am planning to add a representation of shapes to common_msgs.

The code is available now in:
https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/common_msgs/trunk/shape_msgs
and contains just one message and two functions: one for computing the size
of an axis-aligned bounding box for a given shape message and one for
converting to a marker message.
(this code is not released)

Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions of improving the
definition of this message.

Best regards,
Ioan
