API review

Proposer: Dave Hershberger

Timeline: Please submit feedback by June 13, 2012.

Reviewers:

See the APIReviewProcess for guidelines on doing an API review.

API Overview

The API to be reviewed here is the API exposed to Display plugin developers, with a special emphasis on the Property class and the Display class, and their relevant subclasses. Doxygen-generated API docs are here. I am in the process of porting RViz to this new API, so looking deeper into the code you may find things that don't look consistent because I haven't done them yet.

There are a few major changes from Fuerte rviz here:

There are many more changes of course, please check out the docs.

Many rviz Display subclasses have been ported already, so you can see how the usage looks. A very simple example is RangeDisplay: range_display.h and range_display.cpp.

I see that a lot has changed in the Groovy VisualizationManager when compared to the Fuerte VisualizationManager (including the removal of the DisplayWrapper). Can you elaborate on the changes with respect to librviz use?

Conclusion

To be completed after review period.
