Hi

I have a bagfile with tf transforms containing /body frames

Is it possible to trace the path of the body frame in RVIZ?

kind of like in this tutorial, but I want to see a line the turtle followed in RVIZ,rather than a line to the transform... http://wiki.ros.org/tf/Tutorials/Intr...

The easiest thing to do is publish something to be rendered in rviz such as a Pose or Point at (0,0,0) in the /body frame and turn up the decay time.

If you want to do it in a way that is persistent and recordable the quickest thing to do will be to write a quick python node which records the points and then renders a Polygon path such as the planners and updates it each time the path is resampled.
