mapviz fails to build on armhf

We're spinning up arm builds armhf at the moment aarch64 coming soon. mapviz makes assumptions about the architecture which fail to build.

Add Support for ImageMarker

There's an ImageMarker type in visualization_msgs that seems like it was designed specifically for drawing shapes on a 2D canvas. I don't know how many people would actually use these, but it looks like a good thing to support.

Utilize ROS-I's Travis continuous integration (CI) scripts

ROS-I now has some pretty generic scrips for utilizing Travis CI: https://github.com/ros-industrial/industrial_ci.

Travis CI allows checks to be performed on any PR made against the repo, see here.

If there is interest, I can submit a PR against this and other swri repos to utilize this capability.

Show Full Path of Saved Screenshots

When you click the screenshot button, the name of the screenshot filename is displayed in the status bar, e.g.

Saved image mapviz_20151217T144536_161340.png

Since the path that mapviz saves images (apparently it's the user's home directory) isn't obvious, this should show the full path instead, i.e.

Saved image /home/evenator/mapviz_20151217T144536_161340.png

Line width of marker visualizations effected by order of plug-ins.

Add ability to hide individual markers in marker plugin.

License missing organization

The BSD license has two tags for organization. The license files (here) does not have the second instance filled in.

I have seen this in other license files as well (all the new repos).

Frame not updating

Hello,

I have successfully visualized a tf_frame and a robot image on mapviz.

However, the positions and path trail doesn't update unless I drag map display around.

Any idea on what could be going wrong?

Thanks.

Changing frames in subsequent marker messages not handled correctly.

The data appears to be displayed as if it was with respect to the frame of the first message.

Add library function to implement topic selection dialog

We have several packages that each have their own copy of topic_select.ui that each plugin uses in it's own almost identical implementation. It would be useful to provide a library function that takes in a list of allowed topic types, shows a selection dialog, and then returns the topic name. This could be a standalone function in mapviz or a method in the MapvizPlugin class.

Segmentation fault when loading multires_image

Hi,

I get a Segmentation fault when loading a geo-file in mapviz. I have attached the gdb output in the file gdb.txt and the geo-file in kjeller.txt (renamed from kjeller.geo as github does not support uploading geo-files). I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and the following relevant packages:

ros-indigo-swri-transform-util (version: 0.0.7-0trusty-20151119-0320-+0000)
ros-indigo-mapviz (version: 0.0.3-0trusty-20151119-0324-+0000)

As far as I can see it fails the method swri_transform_util::GeoReference::Print(), but I don't know why. Any help is appreciated.

Add Support for DeleteAll Markers

The marker message recently added a new action type DELETEALL.

The constant is not available in indigo, only jade but there's nothing to stop us from implementing the feature in Indigo by hardcoding a 3.

I already implemented this in the hydro branch, and I've found it pretty handy.

mapviz not available running "sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-mapviz" for Ubuntu 14.04.2

How do I update my package list for mapviz on Ubuntu 14.04.2? I was expecting it to be available at the same server as the rest of ros-indigo.

Incorrect coordinates on status bar.

The coordinates displayed on the status bar are not quite correct. They seem to zero out on the target frame instead of the fixed frame.

Missing documentation on reference frames

Hi,

I am having difficulties to understand how different frames are handled.

So I have a GPS Position on the one hand, which gets displayed without issues.
Also, I am trying to visualize a path msg. The points with in the path message use GPS coordinates as well, but I just can't get them to visualize correctly.

Judging from the code, the GPS position uses the local_xy_util_ which converts the GPS coordinates into a local reference frame. How can I get my path to get converted as well? Or do I need to publish some kind of tf transform? I have tried setting the frame_id to origin, wgs84 or far_field but still it doesn't get displayed correctly. How is the path message supposed to be used and how would I project data like laser scans into the map?

Thx,
cbandera

MapQuest disapearing and scale not working

Hi ! I'm new to both ROS and mapviz. I'm trying to load the mapquest map in the tile_map plugin, but I have trouble with it.
I've made a tf /wsg84 using the following command:
rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 /wgs84 map 1

Now, in mapviz, there is no projection message problem, and (sometimes) I am able to see the mapquest world map. But... it seems only the level 0 for tile 0 0 is being displayed regardless to the zoom I'm trying. Additionally, the red and green arrows of the origin cannot be kept in the center of the screen because it makes the whole map to disappear. The map only appear when the frame origin is placed either on the left or right of the screen and more often, when outside the top or bottom border of the screen... weird ?

Am I doing something wrong with the tf ? I'm not trying to display anything but the map, as I'm about to add a new tile_map provider for the maps made in my company.

Remove blackbox button.

Remove blackbox button.

Add alternative input method to zoom in and out.

We ran into a case today where there was no way to use a scroll wheel to zoom in and out of the map. It would be useful for these cases to have another way of zooming. Either a keyboard shortcut, or maybe moving the mouse while holding down the right mouse button would be useful alternatives.

Laserscan Support

Merge in the plugin to display laserscans.

Release 0.0.4 for Indigo

I left Indigo out of the last release cycle and only released Jade because the NavSat plugin was still untested. This release would include the LaserScan plugin and the NavSat plugin (and probably some other things.) I'm waiting on confirmation of #238.

Update gps mapviz_plugins for Jade

The gps plugin uses gps_common/GPSFix, which is gone in Jade. Proposed fix: add a navsat plugin to indigo and remove the gps plugin in jade.

ROS specific branches

It is helpful to have ROS version specific branches in your repo. By convention, most ROS repos have a <ros_version>-devel branch for each ROS version in which they are supported.

apt-get ros-indigo-mapviz not working

Hi,

I am trying to install mapviz using sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-mapviz
and I get:

E: Unable to locate package ros-indigo-mapviz

From apt-get install list:
ros-indigo-map-laser
ros-indigo-map-msgs

It doesn't look like mapviz is included.

Build Issue

Hi,

After downloading the source from github and running the "rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src"
command I am getting this error when I run catkin_make:

It throws many errors after this spot. Am I missing a dependency?

Thanks,

Add support for Bing maps to the tile_map plugin

Bing's imagery is much nicer than MapQuest's, although it has a slightly different API and requires a user to register for an API key.

All OpenGL drawing should be done on the main thread

When using Qt, all graphics operations have to be done on the main thread; otherwise the results are undefined and may result in a crash. Most of the time this works fine, but I have repeatedly observed crashes when running Mapviz in rqt due to OpenGL operations being done on separate threads.

Set the z component of path points to 0 before transforming.

Set the z component of path points to 0 before transforming to avoid uninitialized values.

Support for interactive marker

Hi,

I would love to see a plugin that will allow me to click on the canvas, which will publish the according GPS position as e.g. a NavSatFix message. Has anyone ever tried that?
I have not yet worked with Qt GUIs, so I am having a hard time building that myself.

Release for ROS Jade

Documentation missing on TexturedMarker.resolution

Hello,

I've been using mapviz the last couple of days. Yes, documentation is lacking, but the content is awesome. Thanks for that!

I'm trying to work with TexturedMarker to project photos taken from a quadrotor to the ground.
To my understanding, the "resolution" field should affect the final image size, but the image should also scale when the altitude of the UAV changes, which doesn't happen.

That said, is there any hint on resizing the image by using the resolution field? Is there another, recommended method?

Thanks

mapviz_marker plugin ignores orientation field.

The current plugin ignores orientation in the marker message. This forces nodes to transform points themselves when the orientation is important.

The canvas update should happen at a fixed rate and not need to be triggered by plug-ins.

This will remove the need for plug-ins to trigger updates and avoid related bugs.

It may also make the video capture rate more stable.

Display preview icon of plug-ins next to the plug-in names.

This will be useful for the odometry, tf, path, and grid plugins
