Gazebo GUI builds on top of [Qt](https://www.qt.io/) to provide widgets which are
useful when developing robotics applications, such as a 3D view, plots, dashboard, etc,
and can be used together in a convenient unified interface.

Gazebo GUI ships with several widgets ready to use and offers a plugin interface
which can be used to add custom widgets.

# Features

* Qt-based widgets, with support for both Qt5 widgets and QtQuick
* Plugin-based interface, so it's easy to add new widgets
* Several plugins ready to be used
* 3D scene integration using [Gazebo Rendering](https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-rendering/)

# Install

See the [installation tutorial](https://gazebosim.org/api/gui/9/install.html).

# Usage

Take a look at the
[tutorials](https://gazebosim.org/api/gui/9/tutorials.html)
for usage instructions and API documentation.

## Known issue of command line tools

In the event that the installation is a mix of Debian and from source, command
line tools from `gz-tools` may not work correctly.

A workaround for a single package is to define the environment variable
`GZ_CONFIG_PATH` to point to the location of the Gazebo library installation,
where the YAML file for the package is found, such as
```bash
export GZ_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/share/gz
```

Multiple paths can be specified using the `:` delimiter. For example,
```bash
export GZ_CONFIG_PATH=/user/local/share/gz/:/path/to/some/other/location
```

# Folder Structure

* `include/gz/gui`: Contains all the files which will be installed, such as
C++ headers, `.qrc`, `.qss` and `qml` files. Plugin-specific resources go under
`/plugins`; everything in the top-level is meant to be of common use across
plugins.

* `src`: Contains all the C++ source code and headers which are not installed.
Plugin-specific code goes under `/plugins`.

* `test`: All integration, performance and regression tests go here, under their
specific folders.

* `examples/standalone`: Example code for standalone applications using Gazebo GUI
as a library. Each example has instructions in a README file.

* `examples/config`: Example configuration files which can be loaded using
`gz gui -c `

* `examples/plugin`: Example plugins which can be compiled and loaded as explained
in [this tutorial](https://gazebosim.org/api/gui/5.0/plugins.html).

* `tutorials`: Markdown files for the [tutorials](https://gazebosim.org/api/gui/5.0/tutorials.html).

* `conf`: Files needed by [gz-tools](https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-tools).

* `doc`: Files used by Doxygen when generating documentation.
