Robot Localization: How to set velocity using a service?

Hi! I am using the robot localization pkg and my application requires to run multiple rosbags in a loop. The agent in all the bags does not necessarily start from 0 velocity. Is it possible to reset the velocity along with the pose every time there is a new bag encountered? Is it possible to have a rosservice to set the full state?

Any time you set the pose, the non-pose variables should also get reset. This is the code for the setPoseCallback:

Thanks Tom! Is there any way to set the non-pose portions to non-zero values?

Not right now, but it would be a straightforward change to add a set_state service that takes a nav_msgs/Odometry message instead, if you are so inclined.

Thanks Tom! I added the new service and that gives me the desired output.
