Update Version of http://wiki.ros.org/tf_publisher_gui
The tf_publisher_gui is based on Martin Guenther's version. It allows user to quickly adjust TF between two links. It's useful for building URDF or sensor alignment.
I add some convenience features for better usage.
Here is how it looks like my version:
- Select parent/child frame directly on the GUI
- Pre-load current TF when open the GUI
- Reset current TF by "Load Default" button
- Display roll/pitch/yaw both in degree and radius
- Add +/- button for better tuning. The default increment is 0.01m and 90 degree
- backward compatible with Martin's version
