I have a ROS node (ethz-ptam) which publishes a topic /vslam/pose which is of type geometry_msgs/PoseWithCovariance message. Running:

rostopic type /vslam/pose | rosmsg show

gives the following:

std_msgs/Header header
  uint32 seq
  time stamp
  string frame_id
geometry_msgs/PoseWithCovariance pose
  geometry_msgs/Pose pose
    geometry_msgs/Point position
      float64 x
      float64 y
      float64 z
    geometry_msgs/Quaternion orientation
      float64 x
      float64 y
      float64 z
      float64 w
  float64[36] covariance

I'd like to use rqt_plot to plot a field (say Point position x). But I tried everything to "call" it in rqt_plot, but it doesn't work, the rqt_plot window shows like it should but the field is not plotted. From rostopic echo /vslam/pose I know that it is being published, so everything is working except rqt_plot. Also if I write inside the text-input-field in rqt_plot, like they say in the docs (topic-name/field:field:field): /vslam/pose/x or /vslam/pose/x:y:z nothing shows. According to the tutorials, in rqt_plot you should be able to hit the +Button next to the text-input-field, but this one is never active in my case, so it can't be pressed.

I am pretty sure that I am making some kind of mistake in referencing the message field (like x). But since I tried all variants I could think of, I'd really apprechiate some advice on how to do this and call/reference this field so that the position fields are displayed in rqt_plot.

Thanks!
