I want to achieve receiving and transform data using rostopic at the same time or in a low time. I know that ros::subscriber can subscribe rostopic and receive the data included in topic. So I hope to process the data in one topic and send the processing-data to another topic, and others can subscribe the new topic. Such as the code:

void receiveGPS(const sensor_msgs::NavSatFix::ConstPtr &msg)
{

  gps_common::GPSFix gps;

  gps.header.stamp=msg->header.stamp;

  gps.status.status=msg->status.status;

  gps.latitude=msg->latitude;

  gps.longitude=msg->longitude;

  gps.altitude=msg->altitude;

  gps.position_covariance[0]=msg->position_covariance[0];
  gps.position_covariance[4]=msg->position_covariance[4];
  gps.position_covariance[8]=msg->position_covariance[8];
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

// Set up ROS.

  ros::init(argc, argv, "receiveGPS");

  ros::NodeHandle n;

  ros::Subscriber sub = n.subscribe("gps", 2,&receiveGPS);

  ros::spin();

}

I can get gps.latitude from the topic "gps",and I hope to send gps.latitude to another topic and publish it. Could you tell me what should I do next? Thanks!

Are you talking about a node that's simultaneously a subscriber and a publisher?

I hope to subscribe the topic and deal with the data in it firstly, and the send the processed data to another topic that can be subscribed.

If my understanding is correct, what you want to do is subscribe to a message, process that message in the callback, then publish the processed message as another topic. You can just publish the message inside your callback. An example can be find from here.

A class is defined in the example I mentioned. You can also use global function as that in your sample code.
