tf2_tools.view_frames and tf2_ros.tf2_monitor - allow configurable topics
Feature request
Feature description
In ArduPilot, we namespace all our topics, including TF, so they can be remapped at launch time. We want to run the view_frames tool on the frames published by ArduPilot, but we can't unless we remap them. In a large system, it's nice to be able to run diagnostics without changing the behavior of the system.
Implementation considerations
Add the following options
-
tf_static_topicwhich defaults to the existtf_static -
tf_topicwhich defaults to the existingtf
Example usage:
ros2 run tf2_tools view_frames --tf_static_topic=/ap/tf_static --tf_topic=/ap/tf
That seems like a reasonable feature request to me. Please feel free to open a PR implementing it, we are happy to review.
Thanks, I'll put this together. Please assign me.
