Reference implementations
Foxglove schemas are framework-agnostic, and can be implemented using any supported message encoding:
| encoding | schema |
|---|---|
| ROS 1 | foxglove_msgs/FrameTransform |
| ROS 2 | foxglove_msgs/msg/FrameTransform |
| JSON | foxglove.FrameTransform |
| Protobuf | foxglove.FrameTransform |
| FlatBuffers | foxglove.FrameTransform |
You must use the schema names specified above for Foxglove Studio to recognize the schema.
