Hello, I try wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/UnderstandingTopics and want to run
$ rosrun rqt_plot rqt_plot
but it says
[rospack] Error: package 'rqt_plot' not found
In the rqt_gui it is not listed in the plugins. I have installed ros-indigo-desktop-full
Is it possible to get rqt_plot running?
It's possible that rqt_plot isn't included in the desktop-full variant for some reason. Have you tried installing it manually?
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rqt-plot
If it turns out that it's installable but isn't included in desktop-full, that's probably a bug in the desktop-full variant.
Ok. I've filed https://github.com/ros/metapackages/issues/4 for this.
Well, now I have installed it manually. But now, when I execute $ rosrun rqt_plot rqt_plot it says: [DEBUG] rqt_plot.plot: import of PyQtGraphDataPlot failed (trying other backends) qt_gui_main() found no plugin matching "rqt_plot"
@hurlbrink Please do not ask a new question in comment area, and try google your issue before you ask (I'm sure there's another question regarding your current issue). Also, be sure not to forget to mark this post as an answer if it solved your issue ;)
OK, sorry. I'm new to ROS answers. I saw the PyQtGraph problem as a part of the rqt-plot issue. But now, I have googled it and so I found out, this is a separate issues independent from existing of rqt_plot in Indigo and solved it.
I was able to do a sudo apt-get on ros-indigo-rqt-plot-common-plugins successfully
It opens, but so far I haven't figured out how to make it display anything. I keep getting errors on my topics having non-numeric data.
UPDATE: @ahendrix's answer seems to be correct.
Looks like debian file of rqt_plot is built but not yet synchronized into public repository. See debbuld status page http://www.ros.org/debbuild/indigo.ht... I'm sure in the next public repository sync, it'll become available.
A concern and a tip:
However, I'm not sure why the .deb file is missing after it was once announced that rqt_plot was released Indigo Beta .
