rqt_rviz's Issues

melodic-devel as default branch

Dear @chapulina, could you please configure the new melodic-devel branch as default on github? I don't have permission to do so.

command line option

I see that there are three command line options (https://github.com/ros-visualization/rqt_rviz/blob/lunar-devel/scripts/rqt_rviz)

--hide-menu
--display-config
--ogre-log

However I am not able to use it as I launch the rqt_rviz.

This works:
rqt --standalone rqt_rviz

This does not work:
rqt --standalone rqt_rviz --hide-menu

Porting to ROS2

Hi,
I would like to know if you have plans for porting rqt_rviz to ROS 2 anytime soon.

If you do not plan to do so, is there a way (maybe a set of brief tutorials) you could write up to show how it can be done?

Thanks

RViz within rqt environment crashing

From @sromberg on May 9, 2014 8:14

Commit #95 very likely causes RViz to crash whenever it is used from the rqt environment. However, RViz does not crash when run as standalone application. This has happend to my experience when drawing OccupancyGrid maps and when drawing Markers as path. Both plugins seem to use ogre::Texture::createInternalResources internally which in the end cause it to crash.

While the application eventually causes the graphics driver to crash, it is not related to a certain GPU driver, version or vendor. I experienced this issue on different machines with drivers from various vendors and e.g. in VirtualBox as well. Instead, this issue seems very much related to threading and the wrong thread accessing the resources that have been/are being created within the Ogre engine.

Summary:
rqt tags/0.2.13 works
rqt tags/0.2.14 crashes

See #95 for a detailed description.

Release into Melodic

All of the dependencies for this package are available in Melodic, so it would be great to get it released there. Thanks in advance!

move back to single master branch

This is to remember to move from the lunar specific branch to a single branch for all distros once ros-infrastructure/ros_bootstrap_dependencies#5 is resolved.
See #3 (comment) for context

@chapulina; FYI Looks like the jobs on zesty are failing because unable to link against pthreads.

rviz config file should be available for specifying when using inside of a perspective

As this ROS answers question illustrates:
http://answers.ros.org/question/202558/how-to-load-rviz-with-a-specific-config-file-when-starting-rqt/

It would be very nice to be able to load a .rviz file when loading the rqt_rviz plugin.

Currently it loads whatever is in the ~/.rviz/default.rviz

Release rqt_rviz into Noetic?

@chapulina Would you mind releasing rqt_rviz to ROS Noetic? It looks like all of its dependencies have been released, and it's needed by rqt_robot_plugins which is used by metapackages.
