This package only contains the matlab wrapper (class) for the octomap_pa package.

Matlab

Usage instructions based on https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/283695
“Updating existing custom message types with rosgenmsg”

1. Download package

Download this matlab package, which is part of the ProAut OctoMap repository.

    e.g.
    $ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
    $ cd       ~/catkin_ws/src
    $ git clone https://github.com/TUC-ProAut/ros_octomap
    $ cd ros_octomap
    $ pwd

In the remainder of the instructions, it is assumed that this path is “REPO_PATH/”.

2. Run rosgenmsg

Within matlab: run rosgenmsg on the folder containing the custom message definitions.

    >> rosgenmsg('REPO_PATH/octomap_pa_matlab/msgs/')

In order to keep this instruction simple “MSGS_PATH” refers to “REPO_PATH/octomap_pa_matlab/msgs/”.

3. Edit the javaclasspath.txt

Follow the instructions to edit the javaclasspath.txt file.

    MSGS_PATH/matlab_gen/jar/octomap_pa_msgs-1.3.3.jar

4. Restart Matlab

The caption says it all.

You should now be able to use these message definitions now.
