Plotting points in x y frame

Question

I want to plot the position of an object in a x-y 2D field. Every time step the new position has to be added so you can see the path, similar to the turtle walking around in turtlesim.

I tried using rxplot, but this inserts an extra dimension for the time, and I want to have a 2D plane.

Has anyone a suggestion?

You can publish a LINE_LIST visualization_msgs/Marker to rviz.
