I'm working on a plugin that creates a more realistic GPS sensor by performing ray traces to satellites and determines if any are blocked by the environment. I've been able to create a plugin that uses a Physics::RayShape to perform the ray traces and detect blockages. I would like to be able to visualize those ray traces in the Gazebo environment similar to how a LIDAR scan is shown. I haven't been able to figure out exactly where the visual representations are created though. Does anyone know the best way to approach this?

Thanks,

David

I've installed Gazebo 1.9.0 using the homebrew formula on OSX (10.8.4). I can run gzserver and then gzclient and use Gazebo with no problem. Running the "gazebo" executable however gives the following error:

I also updated the formula to pull 1.9.1 and reinstalled and still get the same error. Any suggestions on what could be causing this or how to troubleshoot it?

Thanks,
