Package Summary
Utility for graphically building projected interfaces.

Usage
rosrun projected_interface_builder interface_builder.py -h usage: interface_builder.py [-h] [-s] [savefile] positional arguments: savefile path to saved interface file optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -s, --standalone standalone mode (startup fake service servers)
Clicking anywhere in the main section starts drawing a polygon. Successive clicks add vertices, and a polygon can be closed by double clicking. While drawing a polygon, hovering near a point on the current polygon or any other polygon in the interface will cause the cursor to snap to that vertex.
Vertices can be modified after drawing a polygon by selecting the polygon from the list and typing in values for x and y coordinates.The polygon's name specifies text that is drawn in the interface, and the ID is a unique ID used for referring to the polygon in code.
Visualization
Pressing the Send Polygons button causes the interface to make a service call to display the polygons, and also publishes a MarkerArray for visualization in rviz. An example visualization is shown below.
Units
All units are in meters. By default, the interface displays a grid with 5cm spacing. The x and y coordinates of the cursor are displayed in meters in the status bar. When drawing a polygon, the line connecting the last vertex and the cursor displays the length of the edge.
Modifier Keys
Shift: snap to grid
Ctrl+Shift: axis-align
Esc: Cancels polygon drawing
