Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to write a simple program that extracts the heights from all the markers in a MarkerArray message. However, I am having a lot of trouble doing this.

This is how I get the cartesian information: msg->markers[i].pose.position.z

I read somewhere that this might work, but so far no luck: msg->markers.size()

Any ideas?

msg->markers.size() gives you the number of markers contained in the message.

To find or set the height, have a look at the scale fields of the marker message (see also http://wiki.ros.org/rviz/DisplayTypes... ).
