I want to create to nodes and make them communicate on the same topic of type position,

http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Und...

This tutorial helped me how to create two nodes and make them communicate on a topic. Using turtlesim i can detect the turtle position but how can i convert that position from local to global reference frame? The tutorial only shows how to make nodes and topics and use turtlesim_node as first node and turtle_teleop_key as other, turtle1/pose as the topic, but i can't get how this node can convert the coordinates that is x,y and theta and change them into global reference frame?

page 17: Rotation, Translation The matrix of rotation and then translation is often used so it may be worth to remember it.

the codes will look like this:

    double rotatedX = ptLocal.x * cos(ThetaRadian) 
      - ptLocal.y * sin(ThetaRadian);
    double rotatedY = ptLocal.x * sin(ThetaRadian) 
      + ptLocal.y * cos(ThetaRadian);

    rotate_translate_x = rotatedX
        + info_.GetGlobalPose2D().x;
    rotate_translate_y = rotatedY
        + info_.GetGlobalPose2D().y;
