Define Documentation

#define GZ_REGISTER_STATIC_SENSOR	(		name,
			classname
	)

Value:

Sensor *New##classname() \
  { \
    return new gazebo::sensors::classname(); \
  } \
  void Register##classname() \
  {\
    SensorFactory::RegisterSensor( name, New##classname);\
  }

Static sensor registration macro.

Use this macro to register sensors with the server.

Parameters:

name	Sensor type name, as it appears in the world file.
classname	C++ class name for the sensor.

Function Documentation

void gazebo::sensors::run_once

(

bool

force = true

)

Run the sensor generation one step.

Parameters:

force,:

If true, all sensors are forced to update. Otherwise a sensor will update based on it's Hz rate.
