plotjuggler-sample-plugins

This repository contains some basic examples of PlotJuggler plugins.

You may use them as a template to create your own plugins.

Build

To build any plugin, PlotJuggler must be installed in your system.

For instance, in Linux, you should perform a full compilation and installation:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler.git
cd PlotJuggler
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
make -j
sudo make install

Look at the CMakeLists.txt file to learn how to find Qt and PlotJuggler.

Plugin installation

Remember that PlotJugglers need to find the plugin files at startup.

The best way to do that is to install/copy the plugin in the same folder where the executable plotjuggleris located.

Alternatively, there is a number of additional folders which will be used to load plugins. Check App->Preferences... in PlotJuggler to learn more.

Note for ROS users

The provide CMakeLists.txt should find the necessary dependencies even when compiled with catkin or ament.

Anyway, remember that the primary goal of this repo is not to support the development of ROS specific plugins.

You can find those in the repository PlotJuggler/plotjuggler-ros-plugins
