visualization_msgs

This package provides messages for visualizing 3D information in ROS GUI programs, particularly RViz.

These messages were ported from ROS 1 and for now the visualization_msgs wiki is still a good place for information about these messages and how they are used.

For more information about ROS 2 interfaces, see docs.ros.org.

Messages (.msg)

• ImageMarker: A marker to overlay on displayed images.

• InteractiveMarker: A user interaction marker for manipulating objects in 3-dimensional space in GUI programs, like RViz.

• InteractiveMarkerControl: Represents a control that is to be displayed together with an interactive marker.

• InteractiveMarkerFeedback: Feedback message sent back from the GUI, e.g. when the status of an interactive marker was modified by the user.

• InteractiveMarkerInit: Used for sending initial interactive marker descriptions.

• InteractiveMarkerPose: The pose of the interactive marker.
