GUI Tools
rxconsole: Display logging messages published to rosout. For more information, please see the rxconsole User's Guide.
rxplot: Plot data from ROS messages published to topics. For more information, please see the rxplot User's Guide for more information.
rxtools libraries
For documentation on the libraries that rxtools provides, please see the Code API.
Roadmap/Stability
rxconsole and rxplot are stable tools. For future development, the hope is to add other forms of plotting to rxplot, such as plotting distributions. rxplot may also get a plugin API that would enable it to plot common message types with default settings.
In future versions of ROS, the rxplot command-line format may be changed to reflect updates in ROS name syntax.
