plotjuggler-goby-plugins

This repository contains PlotJuggler plugins for using data from the Goby3 project that was recorded using goby_logger and then converted (as necessary) by the goby_log_tool.

Build

To build, PlotJuggler must be installed in your system.

For instance, in Ubuntu, you should perform a full compilation and installation (e.g., to /opt/plotjuggler):

sudo apt -y install qtbase5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libqt5websockets5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev \
	libqt5x11extras5-dev libprotoc-dev libfmt-dev liblua5.3-dev
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler.git
cd PlotJuggler
mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/plotjuggler
make -j`nproc`
sudo make install

Then, build and install the plugin:

git clone https://github.com/GobySoft/plotjuggler-goby-plugins.git
cd plotjuggler-goby-plugins
mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -Dplotjuggler_DIR=/opt/plotjuggler/lib/cmake/plotjuggler \
	-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/plotjuggler
make -j`nproc`
sudo make install

Plugin installation

The best way to do that is to install/copy the plugin in the same folder where the executable plotjuggler is located (e.g., /opt/plotjuggler/bin), which will be done if the steps in Build, above, are followed.

Alternatively, there is a number of additional folders which will be used to load plugins. Check App->Preferences... in PlotJuggler to learn more.

Run

Convert Goby log to JSON

The current plugin uses JSON files generated by goby_log_tool, e.g.,

goby_log_tool --format=JSON --input_file=some.goby --output_file=some.json

Run PlotJuggler and load JSON file

Run /opt/plotjuggler/bin/plotjuggler or add /opt/plotjuggler/bin to your $PATH and run plotjuggler.

Then use the Load data from file button under File->Data to load the JSON file, e.g., some.json
