I want to know maximum value of x Axis in costmap. How can I get it with C++? In old code, I found a next expression.

map_upperbound = costmap_->getSizeInMetersX() - costmap_->getOriginX();
map_lowerbound = map_upperbound - costmap_->getSizeInMetersX();
bounds.setHigh(0, map_upperbound);
bounds.setLow(0, map_lowerbound);
ROS_DEBUG("Setting uper bound and lower bound of map x-coordinate to (%f, %f).", map_upperbound, map_lowerbound);

I think that this is wrong. or I'm wrong? As dornhege says, this code is correct. I understand that getSizeInMetersX() gets a width of X axis on a map. So, minimum value of x-axis is 0 and maximum value of x-axis is getSizeInMetersX().
At once, I edited a code like a following.

map_upperbound = costmap_->getSizeInMetersX() - 0.0;
map_lowerbound = -map_upperbound;

So, RRT planner began to plan.

This might work if the origin has an orientation of 0. Orientations other than 0 are not supported currently anyways.

Thanks @dornhege: if getOriginX() is 0, map_upperbound = getSizeInMetersX() and map_lowerbound = 0. I think so. I expected map_lowerbound = - value. My thought is wrong?

Well, that depends on what those values are supposed to be used for. Are those min/max x coordinates in the map frame or maybe something for display or offset for an image. I would expect [0, getSizeInMetersX()] for an origin of 0 if nothing is specified.

@dornhege That's right! I have thought that an origin is a center of map. If the origin is an edge of map, this code is correct. Thanks!

Yes. You can think of the origin as the coordinate frame that the "map image" resides in (i.e including orientation)

@dornhege, Could you help me how to extract max(x-axis), min(x-axis), max(y-axis) and min(y-axis) using python?
