where i can find information about to how create a node to move a model in rviz using state-publisher.cpp
i have a scrip in c++ to move an robot model and visualized in rviz but i need more information because i don't understand the code.

You may want to clean up your formatting a bit so the code is readable. I would also be more specific about what you don't understand. That's a lot of code to explain, if you narrow your question down a bit you're more likely to get an answer.
i don't search whole the explaination but i would like some guide o previous information about this because i don't understand many many things
Please consider following the suggestion from @kscottz. Which parts are not clear to you?
