Is there a way to display the names of the axis (of the TFs) next to each axis in rviz?

For example, if I remember correctly, the red axis should represent the x-axis, while the green axis should represent the y-axis. The problem is that I'm never sure about these conventions and having to look them up every time is a little bit tedious.

That's currently not possible. It also took me a while but once I realized that XYZ maps to RGB, it got pretty natural rather quickly.

You could use TEXT_VIEW_FACING-Marker.

Could you be a little bit more specific on how one would achieve that for all coordinate systems (since I'm quite new to ROS)?

upvoting this one as this is the only one actually answering the question. The others are helpful too, though.

This is actually not the answer, but at best a work-around. @rbbg posted the actual answer: no, this is currently not possible. Publishing markers yourself is nice, but they won't be axis aligned, nor are they part of the standard / provided infrastructure.

Can you explain to me why the heck you copied (9 hours later) the answer by @malharjajoo? Are you a bot or stupid?

@nbro: please refrain from these sort of comments. It's not constructive and does not encourage board members to interact with you.

@gvdhoorn I understand I should be 100% polite, but does a person like this even understand anything at all?

You're not making this any better.

We're all trying to help here, so perhaps we can help @lagankapoor help us better.

@gvdhoorn Ok, I will remove my comments. I am not a moderator, but if I was I would try to make sure that this kind of duplicates/spams do not happen again.
