This ROS package provides some tools facilitating the definition of (static) ROS tf transforms.
First of all, it provides some extensions to rviz:
- An EulerProperty class allowing for the definition of arbitrary sets of Euler angles (and conversion between them).
- A RotationProperty class combining
EulerProperty
andQuaternionProperty
to provide flexible means of entering orientation information. - An interactive transform publisher as an
rviz::Display
plugin allowing you to define your transforms with an rviz interactive marker. You can use this also, to interactively perform frame transformations.
Furthermore, it provides two cmdline utilities:
-
static_transform_publisher is an adapted version of
tf2_ros
's source code, providing more fine-grained command-line options to define orientations from an arbitrary set of Euler angles. -
static_transform_publisher_gui is an interactive version of the
static_transform_publisher
allowing you to modify the transform interactively.
