Member Function Documentation

template<typename M >
transport::PublisherPtr gazebo::transport::Node::Advertise ( const std::string &  _topic,
unsigned int  _queueLimit = 1000,
double  _hzRate = 0 
)
inline

Adverise a topic.

Parameters
[in]_topicThe topic to advertise
[in]_queueLimitThe maximum number of outgoing messages to queue for delivery
[in]_hzUpdate rate for the publisher. Units are 1.0/seconds.
Returns
Pointer to new publisher object

References SingletonT< TopicManager >::Instance().

std::string gazebo::transport::Node::DecodeTopicName ( const std::string &  _topic)

Decode a topic name.

Parameters
[in]Theencoded name
Returns
The decoded name
std::string gazebo::transport::Node::EncodeTopicName ( const std::string &  _topic)

Encode a topic name.

Parameters
[in]Thedecoded name
Returns
The encoded name
void gazebo::transport::Node::Fini ( )

Finalize the node.

unsigned int gazebo::transport::Node::GetId ( ) const

Get the unique ID of the node.

Returns
The unique ID of the node
std::string gazebo::transport::Node::GetMsgType ( const std::string &  _topic) const

Get the message type for a topic.

Parameters
[in]_topicThe topic
Returns
The message type
std::string gazebo::transport::Node::GetTopicNamespace ( ) const

Get the topic namespace for this node.

Returns
The namespace
bool gazebo::transport::Node::HandleData ( const std::string &  _topic,
const std::string &  _msg 
)

Handle incoming data.

Parameters
[in]_topicTopic for which the data was received
[in]_msgThe message that was received
Returns
true if the message was handled successfully, false otherwise
bool gazebo::transport::Node::HandleMessage ( const std::string &  _topic,
MessagePtr  _msg 
)

Handle incoming msg.

Parameters
[in]_topicTopic for which the data was received
[in]_msgThe message that was received
Returns
true if the message was handled successfully, false otherwise
bool gazebo::transport::Node::HasLatchedSubscriber ( const std::string &  _topic) const

Return true if a subscriber on a specific topic is latched.

Parameters
[in]_topicName of the topic to check.
Returns
True if a latched subscriber exists.
void gazebo::transport::Node::Init ( const std::string &  _space = "")

Init the node.

Parameters
[in]_spaceSet the global namespace of all topics. If left blank, the topic will initialize to the first namespace on the Master
void gazebo::transport::Node::InsertLatchedMsg ( const std::string &  _topic,
const std::string &  _msg 
)

Add a latched message to the node for publication.

This is called when a subscription is connected to a publication.

Parameters
[in]_topicName of the topic to publish data on.
[in]_msgThe message to publish.
void gazebo::transport::Node::InsertLatchedMsg ( const std::string &  _topic,
MessagePtr  _msg 
)

Add a latched message to the node for publication.

This is called when a subscription is connected to a publication.

Parameters
[in]_topicName of the topic to publish data on.
[in]_msgThe message to publish.
void gazebo::transport::Node::ProcessIncoming ( )

Process incoming messages.

void gazebo::transport::Node::ProcessPublishers ( )

Process all publishers, which has each publisher send it's most recent message over the wire.

This is for internal use only

template<typename M >
void gazebo::transport::Node::Publish ( const std::string &  _topic,
const google::protobuf::Message &  _message 
)
inline

A convenience function for a one-time publication of a message.

This is inefficient, compared to Node::Advertise followed by Publisher::Publish. This function should only be used when sending a message very infrequently.

Parameters
[in]_topicThe topic to advertise
[in]_messageMessage to be published
void gazebo::transport::Node::RemoveCallback ( const std::string &  _topic,
unsigned int  _id 
)
template<typename M , typename T >
SubscriberPtr gazebo::transport::Node::Subscribe ( const std::string &  _topic,
void(T::*)(const boost::shared_ptr< M const > &)  _fp,
T *  _obj,
bool  _latching = false 
)
inline

Subscribe to a topic using a class method as the callback.

Parameters
[in]_topicThe topic to subscribe to
[in]_fpClass method to be called on receipt of new message
[in]_objClass instance to be used on receipt of new message
[in]_latchingIf true, latch latest incoming message; otherwise don't latch
Returns
Pointer to new Subscriber object

References SingletonT< TopicManager >::Instance().

template<typename M >
SubscriberPtr gazebo::transport::Node::Subscribe ( const std::string &  _topic,
void(*)(const boost::shared_ptr< M const > &)  _fp,
bool  _latching = false 
)
inline

Subscribe to a topic using a bare function as the callback.

Parameters
[in]_topicThe topic to subscribe to
[in]_fpFunction to be called on receipt of new message
[in]_latchingIf true, latch latest incoming message; otherwise don't latch
Returns
Pointer to new Subscriber object

References SingletonT< TopicManager >::Instance().

template<typename T >
SubscriberPtr gazebo::transport::Node::Subscribe ( const std::string &  _topic,
void(T::*)(const std::string &)  _fp,
T *  _obj,
bool  _latching = false 
)
inline

Subscribe to a topic using a class method as the callback.

Parameters
[in]_topicThe topic to subscribe to
[in]_fpClass method to be called on receipt of new message
[in]_objClass instance to be used on receipt of new message
[in]_latchingIf true, latch latest incoming message; otherwise don't latch
Returns
Pointer to new Subscriber object

SubscriberPtr gazebo::transport::Node::Subscribe ( const std::string &  _topic,
void(*)(const std::string &)  _fp,
bool  _latching = false 
)
inline

Subscribe to a topic using a bare function as the callback.

Parameters
[in]_topicThe topic to subscribe to
[in]_fpFunction to be called on receipt of new message
[in]_latchingIf true, latch latest incoming message; otherwise don't latch
Returns
Pointer to new Subscriber object
