0.2.1 (2016-10-23)

• Add a GUI for controlling the Image Transport (#432) This will add a sub-menu under the \"View\" menu that will:

  • List all available image transports
  • Indicate which one is currently the default
  • Allow the user to choose which one will be used for new ImageTransport subscriptions
  • Save and restore this setting to Mapviz\'s config file

  - Cause any [image]{.title-ref} plugins using the default transport to resubscribe In addition, the image plugin now has a menu that can be used to change the transport for that specific plugin so that it is different from the default. Fixes #430 Conflicts: mapviz/package.xml

• Fix icon colors for point drawing plugins (#433) This was probably broken back when all of these were refactored to have a single base class. It looks like the member variable that holds the color used to draw the icon was never actually being updated. Fixes #426

• Remove unnecessary include

• Fix warnings in mapviz. Fix several reorder and signed comparison warnings in the mapviz package.

• Giving [tile_map]{.title-ref} an interface overhaul MapQuest has turned off their public API for map tiles, so this plugin needed some work. I have:

  • Removed the MapQuest sources
  • Made the interface for adding new sources more powerful
  • Overhauled how sources are saved and loaded under the hood

  - Added a button to reset the current tile cache Resolves #402 Conflicts: tile_map/CMakeLists.txt

• Adding a dialog for selecting services by type This dialog is similar to the ones for listing topics or TF frames, but it is a little different under the hood. Notably:

  • It relies on the rosapi node in order to be able to search for services

  - Since searching is done via a service call, ROS communication is handled on a separate thread that will not block the GUI - Unlike topics, only searching for a single service type is supported Conflicts: mapviz/package.xml

• Adding a way for plugin config widgets to resize

  • Adding an event plugins can emit to indicate their geometry has changed

  - Modifying the PCL2 plugin to use it as an example Fixes #393

• Adding a button to reset the location and zoom level This adds an icon on the right side of Mapviz\'s status bar tthat will reset the view to the default zoom level and center it on the origin of the target frame. Resolves #371

0.2.0 (2016-06-23)

• Update mapviz to qt5
• Adding a Q_OBJECT declaration to MapvizPlugin

• Adding signals for various plugin events The MapvizPlugin class will now emit signals when any of the following settings change:

  • Draw Order
  • Target Frame
  • Use Latest Transforms

  - Visibility Note that the signals will only be emitted if the setting actually changes, not if it is somehow set to the same value that it was previously.

• Contributors: Ed Venator, P. J. Reed

0.1.3 (2016-05-20)

• Implement mapviz plug-in for calling the marti_nav_msgs::PlanRoute service.
• Adding an explicit dependency on pkg-config to package.xml (#355)
• Add _gencpp dependency to mapviz targets. This commit adds the _gencpp target to mapviz targets to ensure that the AddMapvizDisplay service is built before the targets.
• Make compiler flags specific to each target.
• Implement service for adding and modifying mapviz displays.
• Fix for #339; explicitly depending on OpenCV 2
• Fix for #336; Qt event handler exceptions shouldn\'t crash Mapviz
• Fixing blending for GL drawing The call to QGLWidget::beginNativePainting has a side effect of clearing GL settings related to blending and depth testing, and that was causing alpha transparency to not work right for plugins. I fixed it by manually re-enabling those settings every time beginNativePainting is called.
• Fix for #319 Previously, the MapCanvas::MapGlCoordToFixedFrame function relied on the transform_ member variable being set, but it is not set if the target frame is <none>. Instead it will now use the qtransform_ variable, which is always initialized for the purpose of QPainters.
• Saving & restoring all matrices and attribs
• Moving QPainter drawing back to being after GL I had switched the order while debugging things and forgot to set it back to the way it originally was.
• Removing a leftover debug print
• Fixing #317 First, the model view matrix needs to be saved and restored around QPainter operations because Qt clears several GL variables. Also, the image plugin needed to explicitly call glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); it does a few operations on the projection matrix and was just assuming that was the current matrix mode. Also, I added a function that plugins need to override if they want to do QPainter operations; this will eliminate unnecessary overhead for plugins that do not.
• Removing extraneous calls to MapCanvas::update() Now that update() is being called automatically at a rate of 50 Hz, the explicit calls in many locations are unnecessary. It was also possible for it to be called in some of these locations from a non-main thread, which is invalid and could cause crashes.
• Adding the ability to toggle anti-aliasing Now there\'s a checkbox under the \"View\" menu that will toggle whether anti-aliasing is applied to the canvas. In some situations this will make the display look much prettier at a slight performance cost.
• Cleaning up documentation.
• Merging QPainter/anti-aliasing fixes into jade-devel This is the same as the old version of this change, except updated to the most recent version of Mapviz.
• Fixing a compile error
• Fix for #298; right-click + drag will now zoom
• Update map canvas at a fixed rate. This update adds a timer to the map canvas to repaint at a fixed rate. The default rate is 50 Hz, but there is a method to change it (not exposed to the UI at the moment). 50Hz was chosen because it is fast enough to give smooth animations and we almost always are running mapviz with at least one plugin triggering updates from a 50Hz topic.
• Update mapviz.launch file to also launch anonymously.
• Initialize mapviz as an anonymous node.
• This commit adds a class called SelectFrameDialog that plugins can use to present the user with a dialog to choose a TF frame. The dialog sorts the frames by name and provides an edit box that the user can use to filter the frames to a specific substring.
• Fixing an issue that could cause the click publisher plugin\'s publisher to not be initialized after it\'s first added.
• Adding a plugin that, when a user clicks on a point, will publish that point\'s coordinates to a topic.
• Adding color button widget and updating plugins. This commit adds a subclass of QPushButton called ColorButton that implements a widget for displaying and selecting colors. We\'ve been doing this manually everywhere with duplicated code. This is a simple abstraction but allows us to elminate a lot of duplication, especially in plugins that have multiple color selections.
• Remove debugging messages from SelectFrameDialog. These were accidentally left in during initial development.
• Add documentation for the SelectTopicDialog.
• Adds SelecTopicDialog to mapviz. This commit adds the SelectTopicDialog that can be used in plugins to provide the user with a dialog to select topics. Typically we have done this with a lot of duplicated code across all the plugins. This commit also updates the plugins in mapviz_plugins to use the new dialog. The new dialog provides several benefits:
  • Reduced code duplication
  • Simplifies writing new plugins
  • Common behavior between all plugins
  • Topics sorted by name
  • User can filter topics by substring
  • Continuously checks the master for new topics while the dialog is open.
