I would like to know about setRPY method in defined in tf::Quaternion class. I couldn't find the API documentation describing it. What range of values in the input parameters(values of roll, pitch and yaw) does it expect? Is it:

-180 to 180 or
0 to 360

Thanks in advance.

ROS standard units of measure

Angles are represented in radians. It does not make a difference whether you represent them in the 0 to 2pi range, or the -pi to pi range

It expects angles in radians, as with all angular units in ROS. See http://ros.org/reps/rep-0103.html and http://www.ros.org/doc/unstable/api/tf/html/c++/classtf_1_1Quaternion.html#ab34dfef6a01c1ece07bea92d485b0576
