ROS plugins for PlotJuggler

PlotJuggler works great with ROS, but it is not itself a “ROS” application.

ROS is supported through external plugins that can be found in this repository.

Existing Plugins

• DataLoader for rosbags (ROS / ROS2).

• ROS topic subscriber (ROS / ROS2).

• Logs/rosout visualizer (ROS only).

• Re-publisher similar to rosbag play (ROS only).

Install with Debians

Install PlotJuggler and its ROS plugins with:

sudo apt install ros-${ROS_DISTRO}-plotjuggler-ros

or, if have ROS2 installed:

ros2 run plotjuggler plotjuggler

How to compile PlotJuggler from source

Create a catkin workspace and clone the repositories:

 mkdir -p ~/ws_plotjuggler/src
 cd ~/ws_plotjuggler/src
 git clone https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler_msgs.git
 git clone https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler.git
 git clone https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler-ros-plugins.git

Now, it is time to compile:

cd ~/ws_plotjuggler
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -y
colcon build

For ROS (1) users

From version 2.3+, this library will support only ROS2 (Hubmle or older)
