Hello all,

I'm in the process of building a custom rqt GUI perspective file to control/monitor a robot I'm working with. We are using it for us to visualize SMACH information as well as plot various things and stream camera information. One thing I would like to do is visualize a single number, not as a graph, but a static sub-window that just shows the number. Similar to an indicator in LabVIEW. http://engineering.sdsu.edu/~johnston/me295/modules/labview/images/labview_0076.jpg.

Anyone Know how this can be done?

Thanks in advance!

Are you using the C++ API, or the Python API?

Also: have you seen bgromov/ros_qml?

https://github.com/lucasw/rqt_topic_d... can show a single number from a std_msgs number message or a marti_common_msgs number message.

The user interface is extremely minimal, you have first export then edit the rqt .perspective file to enter the topic in:

    "plugin__rqt_topic_display__Number Display__1": {
      "keys": {},
      "groups": {
        "dock_widget__NumberDisplayUi": {
          "keys": {
            "dock_widget_title": {
            ...
            "topic": {
              "repr": "'/foo/my_number'",
              "type": "repr"
            }
