[ros-users] Using hrl_tilting_hokuyo to get BAG or PCD files

[Radu Bogdan Rusu]

Btw, fyi, we got new PointCloud2 and PCD visualizers in pcl_visualization (point_cloud_perception trunk). The 0.2 
release will have some neat examples on how to use that from your code. In the meantime, if you want to visualize PCD 
files (ascii or binary) just use the pcd_viewer from pcl_visualization.

Cheers,
Radu.
