Detailed Description

Standard implementation of the tf2_ros::BufferInterface abstract data type.

Inherits tf2_ros::BufferInterface and tf2::BufferCore. Stores known frames and offers a ROS service, "tf_frames", which responds to client requests with a response containing a tf2_msgs::FrameGraph representing the relationship of known frames.
