Plotting scalar data
Scalar data can be easily plotted with generic tools already available in ROS. Even non-scalar data can be plotted, but with each scalar field plotted separately. That is why we talk about scalar data, because most non-scalar structures are better represented with ad-hoc visualizers, some of which we will see later; for instance, images, poses, orientation/attitude, and so on.
