Detailed Description

Manages advertisements of multiple transport options on an Image topic.

Publisher is a drop-in replacement for ros::Publisher when publishing Image topics. In a minimally built environment, they behave the same; however, Publisher is extensible via plugins to publish alternative representations of the image on related subtopics. This is especially useful for limiting bandwidth and latency over a network connection, when you might (for example) use the theora plugin to transport the images as streamed video. All topics are published only on demand (i.e. if there are subscribers).

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