Which header file to include for tf2::Transform? Unfortunately this is not a well documented way to use tf2 as far as I can find. It is in the file Transform.h, but that file can't be included as such: <tf2/Transform.h> or <tf2/LinearMath/Transform.h>
Should I revert to using tf? Is this not a canonical way to use tf2?
Cheers!
The tf2::Transform is in <tf2/LinearMath/Transform.h> here. My guess is that you are not adding the correct paths to your include directories in you CMakeLists.txt
Note that in general it's recommended to use a standalone linear math library like eigen or bullet or kdl
You can used packages like tf2_bullet or tf2_eigen or tf2_kdl
Or you can add support for your own datatypes: http://wiki.ros.org/tf2/Tutorials/Cre...
Thank you. Any reasons why to use specifically one of those options over the other?
Getting the message fatal error: tf2_eigen/tf2_eigen.h: No such file or directory #include <tf2_eigen/tf2_eigen.h>
Have you seen the tf2 tutorials? They all seem to use geometry_msgs/Transform.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is my understanding that the tf2 Transform class is in a different namespace. It has an API that allows for native algebra and some other stuff. geometry_msgs Transform is generated from a ROS .msg. Thus it's API is limited to mostly access and some conversions.
