## Content

This project provides a GUI plugin for visualizing numeric values in multiple 2D plots using the [Qwt](http://qwt.sourceforge.net) plotting backend.

## Installation
### Dependencies

- [rqt](http://wiki.ros.org/rqt)

    ```shell
    sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rqt
    ```

- [variant_topic_tools](https://github.com/anybotics/variant)

  Consult the [installation instructions](https://github.com/anybotics/variant/blob/master/README.md#installation) provided by this project.

- [qwt](http://qwt.sourceforge.net/)

    ```shell
    sudo apt-get install libqwt-dev
    ```

### ROS Distribution

The package is in the ROS (melodic, noetic) distribution.

```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-rqt-multiplot
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-rqt-multiplot

```

### Building from Source

Create a symlink in your catkin source folder, e.g.:

```shell
ln -s ~/git/rqt_multiplot_plugin ~/catkin_ws/src
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin build rqt_multiplot
```

### Debian Package

```shell
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:anybotics/ros
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rqt-multiplot
```

## Usage

To launch the standalone rqt plugin, run

```shell
rosrun rqt_multiplot rqt_multiplot
```

To launch the rqt GUI without a perspective, run

```shell
rqt --force-discover
```

This will discover all plugins, which can then be loaded manually.

To delete the default configuration files (in case of problems):

```shell
rqt --clear-config
```

### Import ROS Bag

To plot an imported ROS bag, the desired curves have to be configured before
importing the bag.
