Detailed Description

Manages an advertisement on a specific topic.

A Publisher should always be created through a call to NodeHandle::advertise(), or copied from one that was. Once all copies of a specific Publisher go out of scope, any subscriber status callbacks associated with that handle will stop being called. Once all Publishers for a given topic go out of scope the topic will be unadvertised.

template<typename M >
void ros::Publisher::publish ( const boost::shared_ptr< M > &  message) const [inline]

Publish a message on the topic associated with this Publisher.

This version of publish will allow fast intra-process message-passing in the future, so you may not mutate the message after it has been passed in here (since it will be passed directly into a callback function)

Definition at line 63 of file publisher.h.

template<typename M >
void ros::Publisher::publish ( const M &  message) const [inline]

Publish a message on the topic associated with this Publisher.

Definition at line 95 of file publisher.h.

void ros::Publisher::publish ( const boost::function< SerializedMessage(void)> &  serfunc,
SerializedMessage m 
) const [private]

Definition at line 78 of file publisher.cpp.

Shutdown the advertisement associated with this Publisher.

This method usually does not need to be explicitly called, as automatic shutdown happens when all copies of this Publisher go out of scope

This method overrides the automatic reference counted unadvertise, and does so immediately.

Note:
Note that if multiple advertisements were made through NodeHandle::advertise(), this will only remove the one associated with this Publisher
