This looks like a reasonable message definition. Can you point to places using this or a similar message for example use cases to show that in it's current form it will be useful. Are there equivalent datatypes in use in other geometry libraries? And do you have converter and transform operations that could be added to tf2_geometry_msgs to support it? |

A direction cannot have magnitude, but a Vector3 does.

Thank you for the PR! Unfortunately I don't think we should merge this one. ROS Noetic will reach end-of-life on May 31st, 2025. Every change comes with a risk of introducing regressions, and there isn't much time left to fix them. I'm closing pull requests that add features so that the remaining time is allocated towards bug fixes and compatibility with newer Ubuntu distros. |
My use case is publishing user mouse clicks in Rviz to external ROS nodes. Didn't find a standard message for a ray, so I here I am.
