Hi John,
Thanks for answering, I ve tried with that you suggest me and also with executing in a new terminal "convert myfile.pgm myfile.png " but it is still giving this message:

Param [quickStepIters] is deprecated: [replace quickStepIters with stepIters]

I saved my map in
/home/robot/src/ros/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/Media/materials/textures
Any idea?
Thanks
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
I don't think gazebo can read pgm files. Try opening your map file in gimp, save it as a grayscale .png file. Place the file in a package that exports its prefix to gazebo_media_path (for example take a look at manifest.xml for gazebo_worlds), under a subdirectory [package_name]/Media/materials/texture/walls.png.
Then try your spawn again. Note that if the map is complicated, it might take gazebo's recursive rectangle wall builder more than 30 sec. to construct the model.

Hi Everybody!!!
I have made a map with gmapping, it is a file 'map.pgm'. Now I want to spawn its walls, for that I am using this launch file:
<launch>
<arg name="scenario"/>
<arg name="no_window"/>
<!-- start gazebo with an empty plane -->
<param name="/use_sim_time" value="true" />
<!-- if no window is set then start with -r (no window displayed) -->
<node name="gazebo" pkg="gazebo" type="gazebo" args="-r $(find han_Scene)/worlds/empty.world" respawn="false" output="screen" if="$(arg no_window)"/>
<!-- Otherwise start normally -->
<node name="gazebo" pkg="gazebo" type="gazebo" args="$(find han_Scene)/worlds/empty.world" respawn="false" output="screen" unless="$(arg no_window)"/>
<!-- walls-->
<param name="walls" textfile="$(find han_Scene)/scenarios/$(arg scenario)/walls.model" />
<node name="xml2factor_walls" pkg="gazebo" type="spawn_model" args="-gazebo -param walls -model walls" respawn="false" output="screen" />
<!-- <node name="xml2factor_walls" pkg="gazebo" type="spawn_model" args="-gazebo -param walls -x -16 -y -16 -model walls" respawn="false" output="screen" /> -->
</launch>
Where the file walls.model is
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<model:physical name="walls_model"
xmlns:model="http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/gazebo/xmlschema/#model"
xmlns:body="http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/gazebo/xmlschema/#body"
xmlns:geom="http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/gazebo/xmlschema/#geom" >
<static>true</static>
<body:map name="walls_body">
<xyz>-8 -8 0 </xyz>
<geom:map name="walls_geom">
<image>map.pgm</image> <!-- for now this is in the gazebo model dir, change later-->
<height>2</height>
<threshold>200</threshold>
<granularity>1</granularity>
<negative>false</negative>
<scale>0.04</scale>
<offset>0 0 0</offset>
<material>Gazebo/Rocky</material>
</geom:map>
</body:map>
</model:physical>
The thing is that nothing happens in gazebo.
Any clue?? Does exist any documentation about how to spawn walls of a map??
Many thanks
Nicolas
