# Rqt Multiplot Plugin
## Overview
**Author(s):** Ralf Kaestner
**Maintainer:** Ralf Kaestner
**License:** GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
**Operating system(s):** Debian-based Linux, Mac OS X
**Package PPA:** ppa:anybotics/ros
## Content
This project provides a GUI plugin for visualizing numeric values in multiple 2D plots using the [Qwt](http://qwt.sourceforge.net) plotting backend.
## Installation
### Dependencies
- [rqt](http://wiki.ros.org/rqt)
```shell
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rqt
```
- [variant_topic_tools](https://github.com/anybotics/variant)
Consult the [installation instructions](https://github.com/anybotics/variant/blob/master/README.md#installation) provided by this project.
- [qwt](http://qwt.sourceforge.net/)
```shell
sudo apt-get install libqwt-dev
```
### ROS Distribution
The package is in the ROS (melodic, noetic) distribution.
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-rqt-multiplot
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-rqt-multiplot
```
### Building from Source
Create a symlink in your catkin source folder, e.g.:
```shell
ln -s ~/git/rqt_multiplot_plugin ~/catkin_ws/src
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin build rqt_multiplot
```
### Debian Package
```shell
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:anybotics/ros
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rqt-multiplot
```
## Usage
To launch the standalone rqt plugin, run
```shell
rosrun rqt_multiplot rqt_multiplot
```
To launch the rqt GUI without a perspective, run
```shell
rqt --force-discover
```
This will discover all plugins, which can then be loaded manually.
To delete the default configuration files (in case of problems):
```shell
rqt --clear-config
```
### Import ROS Bag
To plot an imported ROS bag, the desired curves have to be configured before
importing the bag.
### Example Views
#### Configure Plot
#### Edit Curve
