⛰️ Support for Grid Maps in 3D​

We've added support for visualizing grid_map_msgs/GridMap messages in Foxglove. Grid Maps can be used to represent and visualize 2.5D height map information as well as other layers in the 3D panel. Common data layers stored in GridMap include elevation, variance, color, friction coefficient, foothold quality, surface normal, traversability, and more.

For visualizing surfaces in the 3D panel, Foxglove currently supports two interpolation methods between points:

• Nearest neighbour: Creates cube volumes at the nearest grid point containing the elevation data (faster, less accurate representation of the surface).
• Linear: The value of any point (x, y) on the surface is estimated using bilinear interpolation or the four neighboring grid points (slower, more accurate representation of the surface).

📐 Inspect and measure points in the Plot panel​

We've added inspect and measurement tools to the Plot panel. With the tool enabled, you can click on any point to highlight its x and y-values. Select a second point to view the x and y-delta between the points. Additionally, when viewing a path-based XY plot (as opposed to a time-series plot), the tool will also display the Euclidean distance between the two points.

🔬 Easier zooming in the Plot panel​

We've updated how you zoom in the Plot panel for a faster and more intuitive experience. When scrolling to zoom, hold Shift to zoom in y-axis and Alt/Option to zoom in the x-axis modifiers. You can also scroll either axis by hovering over the respective axis area for the plot.

📜 Quickly scroll through State Transitions​

If your State Transitions panel contains a large number of rows, you can now use Shift + Scroll to quickly scroll through them.

🎨 Set URDF opacity and toggle outlines​

You can now adjust the opacity of URDF models and toggle their outlines in the 3D panel. This gives you more control over how your robot models are displayed.

🔍 Marquee zoom for Plot and State Transitions panels​

The Plot and State Transitions panels now support marquee zooming. Click and drag to select an area to zoom into.

⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts on desktop​

The desktop app now supports keyboard shortcuts for common actions:

🥳 Initial public release of the Foxglove SDK​

We're excited to introduce the Foxglove SDK, a unified toolkit that simplifies integrating your robotics stack with Foxglove. The SDK provides a single, idiomatic API for live visualization, logging, and remote monitoring.

Today, we're releasing the initial version of the Foxglove SDK for C++, Python, and Rust. Built on a shared Rust core, it ensures consistency and reduces feature drift. You can:

• Log structured data to MCAP files for offline analysis
• Stream live data to Foxglove via the WebSocket protocol
• Use high-level logging APIs for common Foxglove schemas like CompressedImage and SceneUpdate
• Define and log custom message types with minimal boilerplate
• Switch between live streaming and file logging using the same instrumentation

Get started​

Get started in a few lines using the SDK to log your data to MCAP files, stream live data directly to the Foxglove app, or both simultaneously:

import foxglove as fg
from foxglove.schemas import Pose, PoseInFrame, Quaternion, Timestamp, Vector3

fg.start_server()

with fg.open_mcap("foo.mcap"):
    fg.log("/example", PoseInFrame(
        timestamp=Timestamp(sec=0),
        frame_id="ego",
        pose=Pose(
            position=Vector3(x=1.0, y=2.0, z=3.0),
            orientation=Quaternion(x=0.0, y=0.0, z=0.0, w=1.0),
        ),
    ))

Key features​

The Foxglove SDK addresses challenges in integrating custom robotics frameworks and tooling:

• Unified Logging Interface: Record to disk or stream live data using a consistent API
• High-Level and Low-Level APIs: Choose between high-level APIs for common schemas or low-level APIs for custom serialization
• Live Visualization Support: Stream live data to Foxglove for real-time visualization
• Cross-Language Consistency: Shared Rust core ensures consistent behavior across Rust, Python, and C++
