Each robot is\npublishing under its corresponding namespace, that is `robot_ns_1`,\n`robot_ns_2` respectively.\n\nSuch topics would include (e.g. in a multi-robot SLAM operation):\n- Estimated trajectory\n- Generated map\n- Raw odometry trajectory\n- Sensor visualization (laser data, camera image)\n\nAll of the above topics should be duplicated for each robot.\n\nHowever, what happens when one of the robots is to publish in a different\nnamespace than the one the rviz file is configured to listen to (e.g. from\n`robot_ns_1` to `robot_hostname`), or what about the case a new robot is to be\nadded to the configuration and rviz file has to track the messages published\nunder that namespace as well? The standard way would be to manually modify/add\nthe topics (as well as the names of the corresponding Rviz displays via the\nRviz GUI). *Rviz Generator* offers a dynamic way of defining the topics that\nare written to the rviz file *in a parametric way* and launch Rviz with that\nnewly generated file as input.\n\n% TODO - Add more details on the example\n\nFor a usage example of this see the\n[mrpt_graphslam_2d](http://github.com/bergercookie/mrpt_slam/mrpt_graphslam_2d)\npackage.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbergercookie%2Frviz_generator","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbergercookie%2Frviz_generator","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbergercookie%2Frviz_generator/lists"}
