Hello everyone.I've to print on screen some results obtained with stageros and it doesn't do that in the same window,so it's possible to write a launch file so that it opens one node in a new terminal?Or it can write in the same terminal but I'm missing something? thanks
If you really want to launch it in a new terminal, you can use the following:
<node name="foo" pkg="bar" type="bar_node" output="screen" launch-prefix="xterm -e" />
If you are using Ubuntu and gnome-terminal you could replace "xterm -e" with "gnome-terminal --command" to open in Ubuntu's default terminal.
when i use "xterm -e" or "gnome-terminal --command" it fires error saying "check if executable present and have right permission to execute". without this options the launch file runs my two node without problem but in same window, and I want to run this nodes in separate window.
"gnome-terminal --command" didn't work for me when my node needs the args. The node can't find them on gnome-terminal. But xterm does, Thank you.
If you want you can make it print on the same terminal by adding the output attribute in the node tag as follows:
<node name="foo" pkg="bar" type="bar_node" output="screen" />
