I have an librviz application https://github.com/lucasw/visualizati... which works fine with the default view controller, but I would like to use a different controller. It seems like this should be done with setViewController(), it renders the view from a default zero starting point but the mouse doesn't rotate or translate the view.

This is in my constructor:

  ...
  manager_->initialize();
  manager_->startUpdate();

  rviz::ViewController* view = new rviz::OrbitViewController();
  if (view)
  {
    view->initialize(manager_);
    render_panel_->setViewController(view);
  }

Is something missing that will cause the view controller handleMouseEvents() to get called? Some additional comments are here:

Is this a straight-up rviz or rqt plugin? I ask 'cuz your link is to a librviz question and my experience with rqt is minimal. Can you post more information (and code/links) to better describe your situation?

It is an rqt plugin that uses librviz. Do you have any code that uses setViewController? I can try to duplicate the problem with visualization_tutorials/librviz_tutorial independent of rqt.

I've added a link to a setViewController version of librviz_tutorial and rqt is no longer part of the issue.

manager_ = new rviz::VisualizationManager( render_panel_ ); render_panel_->initialize( manager_->getSceneManager(), manager_ ); manager_->initialize(); manager_->startUpdate(); QString class_id = "rviz/Orbit"; manager_->getViewManager()->setCurrentViewControllerType(class_id);
