I need to create a visualization for IMU sensor (acceleration in my case). I wanted to create a plug-in or some visualization that allows to see the acceleration as a time plot for each axis, displayed in a separate windows, as the camera display.

Any idea on how to accomplish this?

The easiest option is using `rxplot` to display the acceleration. joq (Mar 18 '11)edit
Didn't know this application, this works for the time being. Javier (Mar 18 '11)edit

As joq says: Use rxplot. Using kinect_aux to send out the kinect imu data on /imu you can plot the values by:

rxplot /imu/linear_acceleration/x /imu/linear_acceleration/y /imu/linear_acceleration/z

Before writing a plugin, try some of the built-in Marker options, such as view-oriented text.

I've already used that, but now I need to display a new type of data, and it would be really nice if I could create a custom way to display it. Javier (Mar 14 '11)edit
