<div>Shahmi,<br></div><div><br></div><div>You probably won't need to write any nodes. To visualize your data, you will need a node to communicate with the laser driver and publish the scans, and then rviz to visualize them. If your laser is a Hokuyo or a SICK, there is support for them in the laser_drivers stack:</div>

Do you have a node publishing the cloud point?<br>
<br>
To run rviz, you just need to run:<br>
> rosrun rviz rviz<br>
<br>
You should have a look at: <a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/rviz/UserGuide" target="_blank">http://www.ros.org/wiki/rviz/UserGuide</a><br>

<br>
I would like know, do we need to write a node in order to
run RVIZ package. I actually want to visualize data from
laser scanner via RVIZ. Is it possible to run it even
without any node written.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
