Documentation

The visualization stack includes tools for visualizing robot and sensor state in as well as other data within the ROS toolchain. The main package of note in this stack is rviz, which is our 3D visualization system.

The visualization stack also includes:

  • rxbag_plugins, which provides visualization plugins for the rxbag bag file GUI.

  • wxPropertyGrid, a thirdparty wxWidgets control used heavily in rviz. (This was true in Electric. In Fuerte and beyond, rviz uses Qt widgets and a home-made property system.)

You may also wish to view the documentation for visualization_common, which contains common OGRE libraries for building visualization tools.

Report a Bug

For rviz bugs, please first consult the rviz/Troubleshooting page, especially the How to make a usable bug report section at the end.

Visualization packages rviz, interactive_markers, and rviz_view_controllers have been separated and moved to GitHub. Please use their individual GitHub issue trackers linked from the package pages to report bugs or request features.
