I just did an install of the full desktop version of ROS Groovy as per the instructions on the install page. I just built a transform tree, and would like use the view_frames function in the tf package, but it's not there. Could I have missed installing it somehow?
It turns out view_frames is still included in Groovy, but is in /opt/ros/groovy/bin so you can run it directly from the command line (assuming $PATH is set correctly). It seems this has happened with other packages. More info here: http://answers.ros.org/question/54132/pcl_ros-bag_to_pcd-not-found/
view_frames is now a rqt plugin called rqt_tf_tree.
Where can I get this plugin and how do I use it? I cannot find it with apt-get.
It looks like it's supposed to be included in ros-groovy-rqt-robot-plugins, but for some reason it isn't.
That's unfortunate. Would you know of any alternative way for visualizing the transform tree?
You should just be able to install the plugin from source. The wiki page has a link to the repository.
Could you please be more explicit Dan ? (I don't want to open a new question as this is only the following of the original question) Because what I did doesn't work : - copy git - roscreate-pkg rqt_tf_tree - rospack profile - copy the files from the repository to my package - cmake and make install
