How to create rviz display plugin for msg without header?
Hi,
I'm developing custom rviz display plugin, according to the ImuDisplay tutorial.
But when I changed sensor_msgs::Imu to my custom msg, build failed because my custom msg doesn't have header.
How to create rviz display plugin for msg without header?
I changed
rviz::MessageFilterDisplay<sensor_msgs::Imu>
to
rviz::MessageFilterDisplay<mu_custom_msg>
Build error log

Thanks,
this is certainly possible, but: what is your plugin actually doing? If it is going to render your message in the 3D visualisation of RViz, how would you know where to place the object(s) if you have no TF data (ie: no
frame_id)?Thank you. Actually, my custom msg is like this,
my_custom_msgs/Arrows.msgmy_custom_msgs/Arrow.msgSo, each Arrow.msg can be placed in 3D space, but I want to display them together by Arrows.msg.
