hello :)

   marker_pub = rospy.Publisher('visualization_marker', Marker, queue_size=100)
   line_color = ColorRGBA()       # a nice color for my line (royalblue)
   line_color.r = 0.254902
   line_color.g = 0.411765
   line_color.b = 0.882353
   line_color.a = 1.0
   start_point = Point()        #start point
   start_point.x = 0.2
   start_point.y = 0.0
   start_point.z = 0.2
   end_point = Point()        #end point
   end_point.x = 0.7
   end_point.y = 0
   end_point.z = 0.2

   marker3 = Marker()
   marker3.id = 3
   marker3.header.frame_id = 'world'
   marker3.type = Marker.LINE_STRIP
   marker3.ns = 'Testline'
   marker3.action = 0
   marker3.scale.x = 0.1
   marker3.points.append(start_point)
   marker3.points.append(end_point)
   marker3.colors.append(line_color)
   marker3.colors.append(line_color)

   marker_pub.publish(marker3)

the above code should display a simple static line between two points. it is coded in python. the code seems okay and i added the correct marker in rviz, which displays me the correct namespace set in the code. even if i remove all the color code: no line appears :( in an other rviz scene i succesfully added two spheres, so iam wondering whats wrong here.

any help to my suggestion?

Try setting pose.orientation.w = 1.

Thanks for your answer. I saw this line also in "rviz /Tutorials / Markers: Points and Lines" and tried it. Unfortunately without any success. I also tried to change the type to Marker.LINE_LIST because i just want to have a single line --> no success :(

Everything is fine. I had a lazy bug in my code, which was a little different from the posted. The above code works as it should.Thank you anyway :)

Hello I know this is kinda old but i've got the same problem of having nothing showing in rviz even so my code is structured as the answer.

My data is correctly published on the topic and i can select the topic of type marker in rviz but nothing shows. Thanks for helping.

@Sleipnir I've deleted your answer and reposted as a comment. I had to remove the code snippet because it was too long to fit as a comment.

@Sleipnir if you are confident you are publishing the marker (which you did indicate), I'd suggest you verify that:

You've explicitly filled out the marker.header.stamp with a current timestamp (if the lifetime is non-zero this is required)
You've set rviz to use the same fixed frame that your marker is using for a frame_id (or that there is a known transform from the marker frame_id to the fixed frame used by rviz
Make sure the topic in rviz for the Marker display is set correctly
