rxtools: Collection of ROS GUI tools and libraries

rxtools is two things. First it is a library of GUI widgets, written in wxWidgets, that can be embedded in other applications. Second, it is a set of GUI applications that view and manage ROS state. These GUI applications include rxconsole and rxplot.

Pieces of rxtools use some icons from the Silk icon pack from famfamfam. These icons have a separate Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. The source code for the software in this package is BSD.

rxtools is two things. First it is a library of GUI widgets (written in wxWidgets) that can be embedded in other applications. Second it is a set of GUI applications that view/manage ROS state.

rxtools is fairly small right now. It contains:

• Libraries
  • rxtools::TopicDisplay and rxtools::TopicDisplayDialog -- ways of displaying and selecting the currently advertised topics on the master.
  • rxtools::RosoutPanel -- A panel that listens to rosout and displays all messages in list form.
• Applications
  • rxconsole -- An executable which wraps RosoutPanel for a standalone display
  • rxplot -- An executable that plots data from ROS Topics.
