Roadmap/Stability

rxconsole and rxplot are stable tools. For future development, the hope is to add other forms of plotting to rxplot, such as plotting distributions. rxplot may also get a plugin API that would enable it to plot common message types with default settings.

In future versions of ROS, the rxplot command-line format may be changed to reflect updates in ROS name syntax.
