Cool, that CityFlyer ground station looks pretty nice. Pity the code is all GTK, but maybe I can rewrite some of their work to integrate with the new Qt plugin framework.<div><br></div><div>@Austin, thanks that seems like the right way to go to me also, now that I've started looking at the code.</div>

Hey Austin,<div><br></div><div>I'm looking to build something like MissionPlanner (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Mission" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Mission</a>), since it's Windows only and even in mono doesn't run that well. I looked around at what rviz could do, but it didn't seem to do controls and displays like that. I'll take a look at rat too, but mainly I want to visualize the roll/pitch and the GPS data on a map.</div>

<br>
If you have data that's spatial or 3D, such as laser scan data or a 3D direction vector, visualizing that data in rviz is probably better. If your data is better represented as one or two variables vs time, rat may be a better visualization tool.<br>
<br>
I would look carefully at the available tools before deciding that you need to write a plugin. Rviz can already visualize direction vectors, 3D transforms, and a number of different types of sensor data. RQT already has plugins for graphing data against time, replacing the older rxplot tool.<br>

> I'm writing some GUI plugins for visualizing data coming off an Arducopter, and after looking through the docs and release announcement for Groovy, I'm not sure which library I should be writing plugins for. Is it recommended that plugins be written for rqt or rviz? And are there any tutorials for doing so, for the upcoming Groovy release?<br>
