Subject: Re: [ros-users] rviz is moving to Qt, preview available
Thank you very much Michael! It works! Now I can play with rosgui. I have
tried two plugins which I need very much at the moment: rosgui_plot,
rosgui_pose_view. However with some changes:

I think the qwt in rosdep.yaml should be pyqwt; and I also change

to

I installed pyopengl manually by

and this could be in rosdep.yaml

Then I have rosgui_plot and rosgui_pose_view functioning well:

Since I have just tried them, I'll create a patch for them soon. And also
try to create a plugin for rviz.
