HI, I want to show UAV's trajectory in RVIZ in real time.
I am not sure I can use LINE_STRPS in visualization_msgs::Marker or PATH in nav_msgs/Path. The navigation algorithm was done by myself. I just want to show the trajectory, i am not sure which message to show path in rviz.
Thanks for your help.

Just to add to the options mentioned by others: you could perhaps also look at moveit_visual_tools by Dave Coleman. From README.md:

Animate Trajectories

Higher level robot and trajectory functions

  • publishTrajectoryPath
  • publishTrajectoryPoint
  • publishRobotState
  • publishAnimatedGrasps
  • publishIKSolutions

publishTrajectoryPath(..) would seem to fit with what you describe.

Edit: whether this would work obviously depends on what particular type of robot trajectory you are working with.

You can use the hector_trajectory_server package to conveniently generate a nav_msgs/Path message as described by Tom.

You can use the nav_msgs/Odometry message, but the pose is drawn as a series of arrows, and they can look a little clunky if you are only concerned with position and not orientation. In those cases, I tend to use the nav_msgs/Path type.
