If I roslaunch something that broadcasts a TF, then launch RViz, I can visualize the TF in RViz. However, if I then restart the launch file, the new TF is not picked up. I need to also restart RViz to get the new TF.
You need to restart RViz _whenever you start a new roscore_. RViz looks for a roscore upon startup. After that time, the roscore remains fixed.
This means that if you are using a launch file to launch everything, including the ROS Master, then whenever you relaunch the file you will also need to relaunch RViz. A better way to use RViz is to launch your roscore and RViz separately. Then you can keep them both open for the duration of your session.
Apparently I don't have enough points to accept my own answer, but I wanted to post this here for others.
