Package providing frames visualization tool.
How to use
view_frames is a graphical debugging tool that creates a PDF graph of your current transform tree.
$ rosrun tf2_tools view_frames.py
You probably want to view the graph when you are done, so a typical usage on Ubuntu systems is:
$ rosrun tf2_tools view_frames.py $ evince frames.pdf
Therefore an helpful shortcut to add in your .bashrc is:
alias tf2='cd /var/tmp && rosrun tf2_tools view_frames.py && evince frames.pdf &'
