Hi

I am created a moveit plugin for my 6DOF arm.And I am trying to move my arm through a line. And I have two end co-ordinates of a line say (x1,y1,z1) and (x2, y2, z2) .

I can able to move to a random pose using

from moveit_commander import MoveGroupCommander

#if name == '__main__':
group = MoveGroupCommander("arm")

# move to a random target
group.clear_pose_targets()
group.go()

But I am not found a function that helps me to plan between two points.

Thanks

1) here is the code defining the MoveGroupCommander class

2) I'd recommend playing around with this (and any python code that you want to explore) in a REPL that has autocomplete (ipython is good). From there, you can see what functions exist for group by typing group.-[tab] , and what their arguments are by typing group.set_pose_target(-[tab].

3) To answer your direct question, this should work:

group.set_position_target([x, y, z])
group.go()

In addition to instructive answer from @lindzey, I've made a sample code (link). Although the document is for a particular 6DOF robot called Hiro, you can play with this sample code on your robot too where MoveGroupCommander.get_random_pose() gives random pose and you can investigate what inside of pose looks like.
