Extensions Extend Foxglove's capabilities with custom extensions to better support your team's unique workflows. Build bespoke panels, convert custom messages to Foxglove-supported schemas, and alias topic names for easy visualization. Once you've developed and installed your extension, you can open your app settings to display all available and installed extensions.

What began as a easy alternative to RViz and rqt. I'm excited to share Foxglove Studio (foxglove.dev), a new open source tool that we have been working on for robotics visualization and debugging. It's similar in some ways to existing ROS tools (rviz, rqt, etc), but in one integrated tool, with some extra features thrown in.
Development Each time you make a change to your extension, you must run npm run local-install to build it to your local extensions folder. Reload or restart Foxglove to execute the latest version of your extension code in the app. Alternatively, you can confirm your code compiles without installing it locally by simply running npm run build.
Each time you make a change to your extension, you will need to run npm run local. While Foxglove offers a suite of general-purpose tools for robotics data visualization & debugging, many users have domain-specific needs that our out-of-the-box offering does not address. To empower users to develop tools customized to their specific needs, Foxglove provides an extension API for building & installing your own panels.
Logging messages with Foxglove schemas This section describes logging with Foxglove's defined message schemas. For example, you can log a SceneUpdate message to render on a 3D panel or a Log message to the Log panel. Here, we'll log a LocationFix message to the /location topic, which can be used by the Map panel.
Credits Foxglove Studio originally began as a fork of Webviz, an open source project developed by Cruise. The codebase has since changed significantly, with a port to TypeScript, more panels, additional data sources, improved layout management, new team features, and an Extension API. Foxglove is a purpose-built platform that empowers robotics teams to visually debug robots, build reliable autonomy, and scale their development.
