follow up of https://github.com/ipa320/msh/issues/727
generic throttle cannot deal with the following properly:
- local/global_costmap: the rviz display uses a display that visualizes both
costmap
andcostmap_updates
topic - image_transport: just subscribing to a compressed image, throttling it and publishing it as
topic_throttled
does not work inrviz
either...i.e. it cannot have the suffix_throttled
...this needs to be investigated in more detail
@fmessmer FYI

One more feature I like to have is a parameter for repeating last_message in the given rate when no new messages are received. This would allow a topic to have a uniform rate even when source node publishing it in sporadic intervals.
I'm willing to submit this enhancement in a PR if you think it's worthwhile feature

@AravindaDP
I don't see an immediate usecase for this - but I'm willing to review/merge a PR that supports your feature as an opt-in
