frames not shown using view_frame node but in RViz
Hi,
I am simulating mobile robot in Gazebo and visulizing in RViz. I have attached camera and laser links and corresponding Gazebo plugins and can successfully see them in RViz and Gazebo. I can see all the frames in TF tree in RVIz including laser link and camera link. However whenever I use rosrun tf view_frames
to see the transform tree I noticed that laser and camera links are missing from there. The URDF clearly describes the parent and child links for laser and camera joints. Further to inform that robot_sate_publisher
and joint_sate_publisher
nodes are also running. Then my question is why can not I see laser joint and camera joint in frames.pdf
generated using rosrun tf view_frames
but in RViz those joint transform are shown OK with correct transforms?
Thank you in advance.
