Plot multiple paths in rviz

edit

I'm trying to plot different paths at rviz

I'm using the following code to get a first approach (based on this repository: https://github.com/HaoQChen/show_traj...)

import rospy
import math
import numpy as np
from geometry_msgs.msg import PoseStamped
from nav_msgs.msg import Path, Odometry
from std_msgs.msg import Empty

class ProjectElement(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.path_pub = rospy.Publisher('~path', Path, latch=True, queue_size=10)
        self.circle_sub = rospy.Subscriber('~circle', Empty, self.circle_cb, queue_size=10)
        self.line_sub = rospy.Subscriber('~line', Empty, self.line_cb, queue_size=10)
        self.project_sub = rospy.Subscriber('~project', Empty, self.project_cb, queue_size=10)

        self.paths = []

        self.rate = rospy.Rate(50)

    def circle_cb(self, msg):

        path = Path()

        centre_x = 1
        centre_y = 1
        R = 0.5
        th = 0.0
        delta_th = 0.1

        while (th<2*math.pi):
            x = centre_x + R * math.sin(th)
            y = centre_y + R * math.cos(th)
            th += delta_th

            this_pose_stamped = PoseStamped()
            this_pose_stamped.pose.position.x = x
            this_pose_stamped.pose.position.y = y

            this_pose_stamped.header.stamp = rospy.get_rostime()
            this_pose_stamped.header.frame_id = "/my_cs"

            path.poses.append(this_pose_stamped)

        path.header.frame_id = "/my_cs"
        path.header.stamp = rospy.get_rostime()

        self.paths.append(path)

    def line_cb(self, msg):

        path = Path()

        x_start = 0.0
        y_start = 0.0
        length = 2
        angle = 45 * math.pi/180
        th = 0.0
        delta_th = 0.1

        while (th<length):
            x = x_start + th * math.cos(angle)
            y = y_start + th * math.sin(angle)
            th += delta_th

            this_pose_stamped = PoseStamped()
            this_pose_stamped.pose.position.x = x
            this_pose_stamped.pose.position.y = y

            this_pose_stamped.header.stamp = rospy.get_rostime()
            this_pose_stamped.header.frame_id = "/my_cs"

            path.poses.append(this_pose_stamped)

        path.header.frame_id = "/my_cs"
        path.header.stamp = rospy.get_rostime()

        self.paths.append(path)  

    def project_cb(self, msg):

        while(True):
            for element in self.paths:
                # element.header.stamp = rospy.get_rostime()
                self.path_pub.publish(element)
if __name__ == '__main__':

    rospy.init_node('path_simulate')

    elements = ProjectElement()

    rospy.spin()

I can visualize the paths at rviz, but I don't know how to plot both figures at the same time in this way.

circle rviz image

I would like to ask if this approach is the best way to address this issue or which could be the best way.
