Allow data to be visualized (e.g. joint velocities) (ros-pkg ticket #339)

[hershwg]

(a) Listen to joint velocity message and have a panel that displays joint velocities and positions along with names of joints
(b) Allow user to specify a link for which cartesian velocities can be displayed
(c) Draw arrows for forces (with length proportional to magnitude of force)

[jfaust] I need more information -- what are the messages I need to be listening to, on what topics?

[hershwg]

[anonymous] * /mechanism_state [mechanism_control/MechanismState]

is what you need to be listening to. To look at the msg: 'rosmsg -s MechanismState' will give you more information

[sachinc] Sorry, did not login earlier.

[jfaust] I've added per-link axis display, and some joint information. There's also a per-link trail option which will draw a 2 meter trail behind the link as it moves.
