  • If source build, which git commit? No

  • System locale, i.e. the output of echo "$LANG $LC_NUMERIC": C.UTF-8
    Before reporting a rendering issue, try running RViz with LANG=C rviz!

    I am using rviz to display geometry_msgs/WrenchStamped message from F/T sensors. I would like to show small values so I unticked Hide Small Values and the display looked fine, so I save the config file as config.rviz. Here you can see a little red/yellow dot showed up, and that's how I think the Hide Small Values is disabled.

However, whenever I open rviz again, I loaded the saved config file, although the box after Hide Small Values was kept unticked but no red/yellow dot showed up and the small values were hidden. So I ticked and unticked, and it worked. Here's a video showing this:

I also check the config file,
Name: B12 Queue Size: 10 Topic: /thumb_00 Torque Arrow Scale: 2 Torque Color: 204; 204; 51 Unreliable: false Value: true - Alpha: 1 Arrow Width: 0.009999999776482582 Class: rviz/WrenchStamped Enabled: true Force Arrow Scale: 0.00800000037997961 Force Color: 204; 51; 51 Hide Small Values: false History Length: 1

The Hide Small Values is set to false.
Could anyone help me here? I have tens of sensors to visualise at the same time, I don't want to tick and untick that box every time I start rviz.

Hi, thank you for the prompt action. I install rviz using
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-rviz
I run the rviz again with the config which set the "Hide Small values" to false, but it's still the same. Maybe I need to install rviz in a different way?
Look forward to your reply.

These changes will be available from the binary package only after the next release, which I didn't even cut.
Meanwhile, I suggest building rviz from source. Just clone this repo into your ROS workspace.
