How to make a rviz plugin with custom shapes?
I have already developed our car and the map plugin for Rviz using this link. However, I don't even know where to start and what to do to have a box like the one in this video in the top left.
Can someone guide me on how to do this?
thanks in advance

Did you check these (about developing new RViz display plugins)?
https://docs.ros.org/en/kinetic/api/rviz_plugin_tutorials/html/display_plugin_tutorial.html

P.S. This video could be using e.g. https://foxglove.dev/ for displays, I think.

I'm not sure what "the box in the top left" is exactly, but perhaps you could take a look at jsk_rviz_plugins, specifically things like the OverlayText, PieChart and the Plotter2D.

I know the answer is tagged ROS 1 but you could probably take some hints from this package on how to write a plugin for 3D bounding boxes
