I have been trying to make a gui using rviz in python. The widgets I am creating have an rviz VisualizationFrame in them. There are gui elements there but there is no documentation anywhere that I could find, especially for the apis to these elements.

Anyone knows anyway I could solve this problem, apart from the many dir() calls I am currently making at each step to know all the callable functions?

I am not sure if this should be another question or can be included here, but is there any documentation for writing the config file for rviz(to load from)?

Depending on what you are doing, rqt may be a good solution.

It is designed to handle both Python and C++ plugins. In Groovy, there is an rviz plugin available for rqt.

Thanks, joq. I did consider rqt too but later stuck to pure rviz. But, the main thing I want here is a way for coding using rviz without any documentation.
