# PlotJuggler 3.15
PlotJuggler is a tool to visualize time series that is **fast**, **powerful** and **intuitive**.
Noteworthy features:
- Simple Drag & Drop user interface.
- Load __data from file__.
- Connect to live __streaming__ of data.
- Save the visualization layout and configurations to reuse them later.
- Fast **OpenGL** visualization.
- Can handle **thousands** of timeseries and **millions** of data points.
- Transform your data using a simple editor: derivative, moving average, integral, etc…
- PlotJuggler can be easily extended using __plugins__.
## Data sources (file and streaming)
- Load CSV files.
- Load [ULog](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/dev_log/ulog_file_format) (PX4).
- Subscribe to many different streaming sources: MQTT, WebSockets, ZeroMQ, UDP, etc.
- Understand data formats such as JSON, CBOR, BSON, Message Pack, etc.
- Well integrated with [ROS](https://www.ros.org/): open *rosbags* and/or subscribe to ROS *topics* (both ROS1 and ROS2).
- Supports the [Lab Streaming Layer](https://labstreaminglayer.readthedocs.io/info/intro.html), that is used by [many devices](https://labstreaminglayer.readthedocs.io/info/supported_devices.html).
- Easily add your custom data source and/or formats...
## Transform and analyze your data
PlotJuggler makes it easy to visualize data but also to analyze it.
You can manipulate your time series using a simple and extendable Transform Editor.
Alternatively, you may use the Custom Function Editor, which allows you to create Multi-input / Single-output functions
using a scripting language based on [Lua](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/lua/index.htm).
If you are not familiar with Lua, don't be afraid, you won't need more than 5 minutes to learn it ;)

## Supported plugins
Some plugins can be found in a different repository. The individual README files
*should* include all the information needed to compile and use the plugin.
Please submit specific issues, Pull Requests and questions on the related Github repository:
- [MQTT DataStreamer](https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler-mqtt).
- [Lab Streaming Layer DataStreamer](https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler-lsl).
- [ROS plugins](https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler-ros-plugins).
- [CAN .dbg DataLoader](https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler-CAN-dbs).

## Snap (recommended in Ubuntu, to ROS users too)
The snap contains a version of PlotJuggler that works (with some limitations) with ROS2.
To install it in Ubuntu, run:
```
sudo snap install plotjuggler
```
### Debian packages for ROS User
Install the ROS packages with:
```
sudo apt install ros-$ROS_DISTRO-plotjuggler-ros
```
To launch PlotJuggler, use the command:
```
ros2 run plotjuggler plotjuggler
```
ROS plugins are available in a separate repository: https://github.com/PlotJuggler/plotjuggler-ros-plugins
Please take a look at the instructions in that repository if you want to compile PJ and its ROS plugins from source.
## Compile from source
You can find the detailed instructions here: [COMPILE.md](COMPILE.md).
# Sponsorship and commercial support
PlotJuggler required a lot of work to develop and maintain; my goal is to build the most
intuitive and powerful tool to visualize data and timeseries.
If you find PlotJuggler useful, consider donating [PayPal](https://www.paypal.me/facontidavide) or becoming a

If you need to extend any of the functionalities of PlotJuggler to cover a specific
need or to parse your custom data formats, you can receive commercial
support from the main author, [Davide Faconti](mailto:davide.faconti@gmail.com).
