Hello!
I use MoveIt! to control a Kuka Youbot arm in Rviz. Apparently i used the computecartesianpath() to move the arm from point A to B. Afterwards i wanted to display the trajetory from A -> B and tried to use the Trajectory Addon in Rviz but it did not work. Do u have any ideas how i can, at least, prove that the youbot operates in a straight line? At least i know, that the computed cartesian path has 144 points and my terminal shows any jointangle for each point when i display the trajectory.
Edit: Hey!
Thanks for your fast answer Dave, that helped me a lot. Currently i try to implement the rviz plugin in my simulation model. I tried to use the computecartesianpath()-function in MoveIt! and wanted to use the publishpath-function of rviz_visual_tool afterwards to generate the path:
namespace rvt = rviz_visual_tools;
rviz_visual_tools::RvizVisualTools visual_tools("odom_combined");
...
...
double fraction = group.computeCartesianPath(waypoints, 0.01, 0.0, trajectory);
...
visual_tools.deleteAllMarkers();
visual_tools.publishPath(waypoints, rvt::LIME_GREEN, rvt::LARGE);
for (std::size_t i=0; i<waypoints.size(); ++i)
{
visual_tools.publishAxisLabeled(waypoints[i], "pt" + std::to_string(i), rvt::SMALL);
}
visual_tools.trigger();
visual_tools.prompt("next step");
When i try to compile this, i get: error: no matching function for call to "rviz_visual_tools::RvizVisualTools::publishPath(....)
Can u help me to find a solution, please?

@mutu: please don't post answers unless you are actually answering your own question. ROS Answers works a little different from a regular forum: update your question if you have more information, or use comments under answers to interact with other users.
Thanks.
