How to open plugin when start RVIZ
I have recently created a panel plugin in rviz, everything is working good but i just wonder is there a way to open the panel directly when i launch the rviz file? Because I currently can only open the panel through "add new panel" icon in rviz. Thx for ur help!
PS: My panel.cpp and panel.h is quite messy and long, i am not sure i should attach it here or not because it is working good. Notify me to upload the file if required. Just wondering is there a way to let the panel jump out initially when i launch the file. I considered about the launch file before but it seems not the solution.
If you save out an
.rvizconfig file after adding the panel and reload it, does it have your panel? If that works you can pass the .rviz file as an argument to rviz from a launch file or command line.@lucasw the way you suggest is passing the
-dflag and the path for the .rviz file right? Or is there also another way?Yes the
-dflag with an .rviz file is what I was suggesting. There is another way but is much more work: create a standalone application that loads rviz and the plugin through C++ using librviz https://github.com/ros-visualization/... loads the plugin "rviz/Grid" but it could be any plugin (test it in regular rviz first of course, don't go straight to librviz)Thanks a lot.
