    // Cycle between different shapes

    r.sleep();
  }
}

本质上， 这玩意儿应该是一个消息， message。

首先， 引入头文件：

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <visualization_msgs/Marker.h>

 然后， 初始化ros， 名字叫basic_sharpes, 然后建立一主题发布者publisher,叫一个makerpub, 消息类型是Marker.

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
  ros::init(argc, argv, "basic_shapes");
  ros::NodeHandle n;
  ros::Rate r(1);
  ros::Publisher marker_pub = n.advertise<visualization_msgs::Marker>("visualization_marker", 1);

 然后就是起第一个形状:

  uint32_t shape = visualization_msgs::Marker::CUBE;

 新建一个消息, 指定frame ID跟时间戳.

while (ros::ok())
  {
    visualization_msgs::Marker marker;
    // Set the frame ID and timestamp.  See the TF tutorials for information on these.
    marker.header.frame_id = "/my_frame";
    marker.header.stamp = ros::Time::now();

获取命名空间:

    marker.ns = "basic_shapes";
    marker.id = 0;

 然后是形状:

    marker.type = shape;

 然后是动作.

    marker.action = visualization_msgs::Marker::ADD;

 姿势:

    marker.pose.position.x = 0;
    marker.pose.position.y = 0;
    marker.pose.position.z = 0;
    marker.pose.orientation.x = 0.0;
    marker.pose.orientation.y = 0.0;
    marker.pose.orientation.z = 0.0;
    marker.pose.orientation.w = 1.0;

 缩放:

    marker.scale.x = 1.0;
    marker.scale.y = 1.0;
    marker.scale.z = 1.0;

 颜色:

    marker.color.r = 0.0f;
    marker.color.g = 1.0f;
    marker.color.b = 0.0f;
    marker.color.a = 1.0;

 存活周期:

    marker.lifetime = ros::Duration();

 然后就是发布这个marker, 如果没有订阅的, 就直接printf错误信息.

    while (marker_pub.getNumSubscribers() < 1)
    {
      if (!ros::ok())
      {
        return 0;
      }
      ROS_WARN_ONCE("Please create a subscriber to the marker");
      sleep(1);
    }
    marker_pub.publish(marker);

 接着就是换形状, 如果当前是立方体, 就换球, 如果是球就换箭头:

    switch (shape)
    {
    case visualization_msgs::Marker::CUBE:
      shape = visualization_msgs::Marker::SPHERE;
      break;
    case visualization_msgs::Marker::SPHERE:
      shape = visualization_msgs::Marker::ARROW;
      break;
    case visualization_msgs::Marker::ARROW:
      shape = visualization_msgs::Marker::CYLINDER;
      break;
    case visualization_msgs::Marker::CYLINDER:
      shape = visualization_msgs::Marker::CUBE;
      break;
    }

 中间休眠1秒:

    r.sleep();
  }
