Hi guys,
I have taken some time to merge the matplotlib into ros-gui for real-time
scalar data visualization. This is actually a simple version of original
rxplot. I think the plot quality is better than qwt:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/110758615329253997840/albums/5687860553056164161/5696030098198932738
And I'll soon implement rxbag in ros-gui.
But before going further, I have some question:
1. It looks like the rviz has it's own dock widget plugin architecture.
Is that an overlap between rviz and ros-gui if I make an rviz plugin for
ros-gui?
2. Is the rviz property display widget available for ros-gui?
3. What I really need at the moment is something like
rxlab<http://www.ros.org/wiki/rxlab>which is mentioned
here <http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0101.html>. Is the development of this
package still active?
Thanks!
Ye
