How to derive transforms between links via Entity Component Manager in gzsim fortress/garden?

Dear community,

i am working on a plugin, which shall derive the transform between two consecutive links (connected via non-fixed joint) in a robot to publish them as a tf2::Transform. Is there a a possibility to derive the relative translation and orientation between two given links (via names e.g.) using the Entity Component Manager?

Regards, Illuminatur

You should be able to use the PosePublisher or the JointStatePublisher for this. Is there a reason for writing your own plugin?
