Handles logging of data to disk.
The Logger class is a Singleton that manages data logging of any entity within a running simulation. An entity may be a World, Model, or any of their child entities. This class only writes log files, see LogPlay for playback functionality.
State information for an entity may be logged through the Logger::Add function, and stopped through the Logger::Remove function. Data may be logged into a single file, or split into many separate files by specifying different filenames for the Logger::Add function.
The Logger is updated at the start of each simulation step. This guarantees that all data is stored.

Add an entity to a log file.
Add a new entity to a log. An entity can be any valid named object in the world, including the world itself. Duplicate additions are ignored. Entites can be added to the same file by passing specifying the same _filename.
| _entityName | Name of the entity to log. |
| _filename | Filename of the log file. |
| bool gazebo::physics::Logger::Remove | ( | const std::string & | _entity | ) |
Remove an entity from a log.
Removes an entity from the logger. The stops data recording for the entity and all its children. For example, specifying a world will stop all data logging.
| _entity | Name of the entity to stop logging |
