Why doesn't rviz appear as a node in rqt_graph? rviz is subscribed to some topics (such as /scan), but I don't see it in rqt_graph.

Hi @Cataphract ,
RViz
is a "debug" node (rosout
and rqt_graph
itself also).
When you open rqt_graph
, I think that by default you have the Debug
button checked. When this button is checked, all "debug nodes" are hidden.
If you want to show RViz
on rqt_graph
you have to "uncheck" the "Debug" button.
The list of nodes that are hidden can be found on a variable called QUIET_NAMES of rqt_graph.
Looking at the variable, we can see that every node that starts with one of the following values below are hidden when you "check" the Debug button on rqt_graph
:
QUIET_NAMES = ['/diag_agg', '/runtime_logger', '/pr2_dashboard', '/rviz', '/rosout', '/cpu_monitor', '/monitor', '/hd_monitor', '/rxloggerlevel', '/clock', '/rqt', '/statistics']
If you prefer watch a video explaining this, I have created a one ( https://youtu.be/uVK0Yp4ZDGc ) that answers this question and show an example of how to add the /gazebo
as a Debug Node (for learning purposes), by changing the QUIET_NAMES
variable.
Cheers,
Ruben.
