Constructor & Destructor Documentation

tf2::BufferClient::BufferClient	(	std::string	ns,
		double	check_frequency = `10.0`,
		ros::Duration	timeout_padding_ = `ros::Duration(2.0)`
	)

BufferClient constructor.

Parameters:

	ns	The namespace in which to look for a BufferServer
	check_frequency	The frequency in Hz to check whether the BufferServer has completed a request
	timeout_paddind	The amount of time to allow passed the desired timeout on the client side for communication lag

Member Function Documentation

bool tf2::BufferClient::canTransform	(	const std::string &	target_frame,
		const ros::Time &	target_time,
		const std::string &	source_frame,
		const ros::Time &	source_time,
		const std::string &	fixed_frame,
		const ros::Duration	timeout = `ros::Duration(0.0)`,
		std::string *	errstr = `NULL`
	)			const `[virtual]`

Test if a transform is possible.

Parameters:

	target_frame	The frame into which to transform
	target_time	The time into which to transform
	source_frame	The frame from which to transform
	source_time	The time from which to transform
	fixed_frame	The frame in which to treat the transform as constant in time
	timeout	How long to block before failing
	errstr	A pointer to a string which will be filled with why the transform failed, if not NULL

Returns:: True if the transform is possible, false otherwise

Get the transform between two frames by frame ID assuming fixed frame.

Parameters:

	target_frame	The frame to which data should be transformed
	target_time	The time to which the data should be transformed. (0 will get the latest)
	source_frame	The frame where the data originated
	source_time	The time at which the source_frame should be evaluated. (0 will get the latest)
	fixed_frame	The frame in which to assume the transform is constant in time.
	timeout	How long to block before failing

Returns:: The transform between the frames

Possible exceptions tf2::LookupException, tf2::ConnectivityException, tf2::ExtrapolationException, tf2::InvalidArgumentException

		const ros::Time &	time,
		const ros::Duration	timeout = `ros::Duration(0.0)`
	)			const `[virtual]`

Get the transform between two frames by frame ID.

Parameters:

	target_frame	The frame to which data should be transformed
	source_frame	The frame where the data originated
	time	The time at which the value of the transform is desired. (0 will get the latest)
	timeout	How long to block before failing
