Hi

I am not happy with the view on my scene after I start gazebo using rosrun with gazebo and my world file.

How can I set the initial view on my scene for the gazebo simulator.

Thanks and Greetings Max

The world file contains settings for the user camera. Open your world file and search for:

  <rendering:gui>
    <type>fltk</type>
    <size>480 320</size>
    <pos>0 0</pos>
    <frames>
      <row height="100%">
        <camera width="100%">
          <xyz>0.3 0 3</xyz>
          <rpy>0 90 90</rpy>
        </camera>
      </row>
    </frames>
  </rendering:gui>

As you can see, the camera tag contains settings for position and orientation of the camera.

I using Gazebo 9.0 and launching the empty.world. It has only 2 models sun and ground_plane. It does not have any camera settings. How do I configure the camera settings now?

What about switching to orthographic view? Is this possible?

In Gazebo 9 you do:

<world>
  <gui>
    <camera name="user_camera">
      <pose>x y z roll pitch yaw</pose>
    </camera>
  </gui>
</world>

Angles are in radians.

<gui fullscreen="0"> <camera name="user_camera"> <pose>x y z roll pitch yaw</pose> <view_controller>ortho</view_controller> <projection_type>orthographic</projection_type> </camera> </gui>

This snippet is used to add orthographic view. (Angles are in radians)
