[ros-users] RVIZ PointCloud display: coloring based on heigh…

Hi,

I modified the PointCloud display type for rviz to include a "Height
map" color transformer. It colors the points based on their "z" value
in the current fixed frame. Similarly to the "Intensity" color
transformer, you can set manual min and max limits for the color
interpolation, or let rviz auto-compute them.

If anyone is interested, I'm attaching a patch and a screenshot.

Cheers,
