Does `rxplot` work on your system when run directly as a command?

What happens if you do `rosdep install rx`?

You can execute rxplot from a launch file by adding something like this:

<node pkg="rxtools" type="rxplot" name="plot_speed"
      args="/odom/twist/twist/linear/x" />

I don't know how to execute rxgraph like that. Maybe we should open a defect ticket.

rxgraph is not a ROS node, as such the arguments roslaunch adds are a problem. A possible feature request for roslaunch would be to launch non ROS node executables.

Hi joq,

Thanks for your help! But I have got an error message

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/eos/ros/rx/rxtools/nodes/rxplot", line 38, in <module> import rxtools.rxplot_main File "/home/eos/ros/rx/rxtools/src/rxtools/rxplot_main.py", line 47, in <module> import rxtools.rxplot File "/home/eos/ros/rx/rxtools/src/rxtools/rxplot.py", line 62, in <module> from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import \ ImportError: No module named backend_wxagg

when I integrated rxplot into my launch file. What I have to do? I use a Fedora with Python 2.7

Best wishes from Germany

It looks like you're missing some wx system dependencies.

Had the same problem today. The missing dependency is called python-matplotlib-wx on Fedora. I didn't find in which rosdep file to add it however....
