Foxglove 2.41.0

🎯 Configurable Fixed Frame for 3D Panels​

You can now choose a fixed frame for 3D panels instead of always using the TF root. The fixed frame dropdown controls the coordinate system used for rendering and accumulation, giving you more control over how your 3D data is visualized.

This is particularly useful when working with complex TF trees where you want to use a specific frame as your world reference.

📊 Depth Images as Point Clouds​

The 3D panel now supports rendering uncompressed depth images as point clouds. This enables visualization of depth camera data directly in 3D space, with configurable depth scale and point size settings.

Depth scale defaults to 0.001 for 8-bit and 16-bit images, and 1.0 for 32-bit images. You can customize this value to match your camera system's depth scale configuration.

📐 @norm Math Modifier for Vector Fields​

A new @norm math modifier lets you plot the norm (magnitude) of 2D or 3D vectors directly using message path syntax. For example, you can use /imu.linear_acceleration.@norm to plot the magnitude of a linear acceleration vector over time.

This eliminates the need to create a user script just to compute vector magnitudes, making it easier to visualize overall vector behavior in your plots.

🔗 Create Visualization Links Using Event IDs​

Share links can now include the ds.eventId parameter when using the foxglove-stream data source. This allows you to create shareable URLs that directly stream data for a specific event without needing to manually specify device ID and time range.
