Concerns / issues

Nate

It's not very clear what rxbag is good for. Should probably add a link to the "bag" and "rx_bag" documentation, and say something along the lines of "<link>rxbag</link> is a graphical framework for analyzing <link>bag</link> (log) files. rxbag_plugins provide various tools to process and visualize <link>messages</link> of different types."

In the API documentation fix: "rxbag_plugins is ..."

Is a roadmap needed for this package?

<p>rxbag_plugins contains plugins for the <a href="/wiki/rxbag">rxbag</a> GUI tool.</p><p><a href="/wiki/rxbag">rxbag</a> is a graphical framework for analyzing <a href="/wiki/Bags">bag</a> (log) files. rxbag_plugins provide visualizers for <a href="/wiki/Messages">messages</a> of different types.</p><p>Some icons from the Silk icon pack are used, which is available from <a href="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/">famfamfam.com</a>.</p>
