Re: [ros-users] [rviz] Displaying informations

Hi Josh and thank you for your answers.

To display TEXT_VIEW_FACING markers, I thought that it would be a good
idea to start with the "basic shapes" tutorial on the wiki, and then to
adapt the C++ file to get "dynamic" text instead of shapes shifting
every second. Unfortunately for me I was right :(

I followed step by step the tutorial, creating my package, implementing
basic_shapes.cpp, building and running the code. Everything went
perfectly well, but my rviz does not display any shape. I checked with
rxgraph that everything was connected and I echoed the
visualization_marker node to check the informations that rviz receives.
Here is an exemple of the echo result:

header: 
  seq: 176
  stamp: 0
  frame_id: /my_frame
ns: basic_shapes
id: 0
type: 3
action: 0
pose: 
  position: 
    x: 0.0
    y: 0.0
    z: 0.0
  orientation: 
    x: 0.0
    y: 0.0
    z: 0.0
    w: 1.0
scale: 
  x: 1.0
  y: 1.0
  z: 1.0
color: 
  r: 0.5
  g: 0.5
  b: 0.5
  a: 0.5
lifetime: 0
points: []

Is everything OK ? I cannot figure what the error is, and my rviz still
doesn't display any shape.

TIA,

Nicolas
