ROS plugins for PlotJuggler

PlotJuggler works great with ROS, but it is not itself a "ROS" application.

ROS is supported through external plugins that can be found in this repository.

Existing Plugins

• DataLoader for rosbags (ROS / ROS2).
• ROS topic subscriber (ROS / ROS2).
• Logs/rosout visualizer (ROS only).
• Re-publisher similar to rosbag play (ROS only).

Install with Debians (TODO)

Install PlotJuggler and its ROS plugins with:

sudo apt install ros-${ROS_DISTRO}-plotjuggler

To launch PlotJuggler on ROS, use the command:

  rosrun plotjuggler plotjuggler

or, if have ROS2 installed:

   ros2 run plotjuggler plotjuggler

How to compile PlotJuggler from source

Create a catkin workspace and clone the repositories:

 mkdir -p ~/ws_plotjuggler/src
 cd ~/ws_plotjuggler/src
 git clone https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler_msgs.git
 git clone https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler.git
 git clone https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler-ros-plugins.git

Now, it is time to compile:

cd ~/ws_plotjuggler
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro=${ROS_DISTRO} -y
catkin build

Enjoy:

source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch plotjuggler_ros plotjuggler.launch
