Detailed Description

Nodelet to automatically subscribe/unsubscribe topics according to subscription of advertised topics.

It's important not to subscribe topic if no output is required.

In order to watch advertised topics, need to use advertise template method. And create subscribers in subscribe() and shutdown them in unsubscribed().

Update the list of Publishers created by this method. It automatically reads latch boolean parameter from nh and publish topic with appropriate latch parameter.

Parameters

nh	NodeHandle.
topic	topic name to advertise.
queue_size	queue size for publisher.
latch	set true if latch topic publication.

Returns: Publisher for the advertised topic.
