Member Function Documentation

◆ AddPluginPaths()

void AddPluginPaths ( const std::string &  _path)

Add additional path to search for sensor plugins.

Parameters
[in]_pathSearch path

◆ CreateSensor() [1/4]

std::unique_ptr<T> CreateSensor ( const sdf::Sensor &  _sdf)
inline

Create a sensor from a SDF DOM object with a known sensor type.

This creates sensors by looking at the given SDF DOM object. Sensors created with this API offer an ignition-transport interface. If you need a direct C++ interface to the data, you must get the sensor pointer and cast to the correct type.

Sensor()
Parameters
[in]_sdfSDF Sensor DOM object.
Returns
A pointer to the created sensor. nullptr returned on error.

◆ CreateSensor() [2/4]

std::unique_ptr<Sensor> CreateSensor ( const sdf::Sensor &  _sdf)

Create a sensor from an SDF Sensor DOM object without a known sensor type.

This creates sensors by looking at the given SDF Sensor DOM object. Sensors created with this API offer an ignition-transport interface. If you need a direct C++ interface to the data, you must get the sensor pointer and cast to the correct type.

See also
Sensor()
Parameters
[in]_sdfSDF Sensor DOM object.
Returns
A sensor id that refers to the created sensor. Null is is returned on error.

◆ CreateSensor() [3/4]

std::unique_ptr<T> CreateSensor ( sdf::ElementPtr  _sdf)
inline

Create a sensor from SDF with a known sensor type.

This creates sensors by looking at the given sdf element. Sensors created with this API offer an ignition-transport interface. If you need a direct C++ interface to the data, you must get the sensor pointer and cast to the correct type.

See also
Sensor()
Parameters
[in]_sdfpointer to the sdf element
Returns
A pointer to the created sensor. nullptr returned on error.

◆ CreateSensor() [4/4]

std::unique_ptr<Sensor> CreateSensor ( sdf::ElementPtr  _sdf)

Create a sensor from SDF without a known sensor type.

This creates sensors by looking at the given sdf element. Sensors created with this API offer an ignition-transport interface. If you need a direct C++ interface to the data, you must get the sensor pointer and cast to the correct type.

Sensor()
Parameters
[in]_sdfpointer to the sdf element
Returns
A sensor id that refers to the created sensor. Null is is returned on error.
