I am pleased to announce the newest version of PlotJuggler.
Since the last announcement, there are many exciting news.
Install PlotJuggler in a Snap!
Installing the latest release is now easier than ever.
Big thanks to the Ubuntu Robotics team that implemented this feature (click on the image to visit the store).
MCAP support
MCAP is a great data format that is protocol agnostic, and solves a problem with rosbag2, i.e. the fact that the latter doesn’t save the message definitions that PlotJuggler needs at runtime.
You don’t need to have ROS installed on your computer, to parse ROS/ROS2 messages stored on MCAP!
Protobuf serialization is also supported.

Context aware background color
Using a simple Lua script (if-the-else) you can change color of the backgorund, based on the value of a time series.
Useful to display the state in which your robot currently is.

Quick statistics
Show some simple but useful statistics of the data that is currently visible in your plotting area.

Refactored MessageParser plugins
Now it is easier than ever to add new:
- IPC communication mechanisms and
- custom serialization protocols
In an ortogonal way.
Protobuf over ZeroMQ? No problem. JSON over Websocket? Go ahead.
Thanks to all the contributors !!!
Thanks to the community and to the people which contributed sending bug reports and Pull requests!
Extra thanks to my Github Sponsors and Greenze in particular.
