会显示fixed frame不正确,来看看该rosbag包中frame_id是什么,And what is defined as？

查看rosbag对应topic的fixed frame

[email protected]:~$ rostopic echo /front/M1/rslidar_points | grep frame_id
  frame_id: "/rslidar"
  frame_id: "/rslidar"
  frame_id: "/rslidar"
  frame_id: "/rslidar"
  frame_id: "/rslidar"

Fixed Frame

The Fixed Frame/固定参考系

The more-important of the two frames is the fixed frame. The fixed frame is the reference frame used to denote the “world” frame. This is usually the “map”, or “world”, or something similar, but can also be, for example, your odometry frame.

If the fixed frame is erroneously set to, say, the base of the robot, then all the objects the robot has ever seen will appear in front of the robot, at the position relative to the robot at which they were detected.

For correct results, the fixed frame should not be moving relative to the world.
If you change the fixed frame, all data currently being shown is cleared rather than re-transformed.

The Target Frame
The target frame is the reference frame for the camera view. For example, if your target frame is the map, you’ll see the robot driving around the map. If your target frame is the base of the robot, the robot will stay in the same place while everything else moves relative to it.

消息的头std_msgs/Header headerTypically this information.

Standard header information mainly include：

• seqIs a message in the order of logo,不需要手动设置,Published nodes in the news,会自动累加.
• timestampIs the message that is associated with the data of the time stamp,The laser data, for example,Timestamp corresponding laser data collection point in time.
• frame_id Is the message that is associated with the data of the reference frameid,For example in the laser data,frame_idCorresponding to the laser data acquisition reference.

例如LaserScan消息结构：

std_msgs/Header header    # Standard header information
uint32 seq
time stamp           
string frame_id 　　     # in frame frame_id, angles are measured around the positive Z axis (counterclockwise, if Z is up) with zero angle being forward along the x axis 
float32 angle_min        # start angle of the scan [rad]
float32 angle_max        # end angle of the scan [rad]
float32 angle_increment  # angular distance between measurements [rad]
float32 time_increment   # time between measurements [seconds] - if your scanner
                         # is moving, this will be used in interpolating position of 3d points
float32 scan_time        # time between scans [seconds
float32 range_min        # minimum range value [m]
float32 range_max        # maximum range value [m]
float32[] ranges         # range data [m] (Note: values < range_min or > range_max should be discarded)
float32[] intensities    # intensity data [device-specific units]. If your device does not provide intensities, please leave the array empty.

修改为正确的frame_id, Then can display properly：

Code to broadcast

#include "ros/ros.h"
#include"std_msgs/Int32.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    ros::init(argc, argv, "demo_topic_publisher");
    ros::NodeHandle node_obj;
    ros::Publisher number_publisher = node_obj.advertise<std_msgs::Int32>("/numbers",10); // topic
    ros::Rate loop_rate(10);

    int number_count = 0;
    while(ros::ok()) {
        std_msgs::Int32 msg;
        msg.data = number_count;
        ROS_INFO("%d",msg.data);
        number_publisher.publish(msg);
        ros::spinOnce();
        loop_rate.sleep();
        ++number_count;
    }
    return 0;
}
