Maliput viewer

[basicNew]

Bare bones

• Create an empty 3D widget that uses 100% of the window.
• Add support for reading command line parameters. Read a path from the command line that should point to the maliput file.
• Given a path, load the road geometry in memory (this will require using maliput as a library). Focus on multilane for a starter.
• Write the code that takes a road network pointer and returns a set of named meshes / layers.
• Populate the 3D scene with the meshes.

Key Result: demonstrate the viewer, loading from the command line, a Maliput multilane format.

Information labels (see maliput/maliput_viz#14)

• Set labels with the IDs for all the entities and no toggling can be done.
• Provide the control box with different check boxes.
• Modify label duplication if necessary.
• Usability improvements.

Key Result: load a multilane road network and properly visualize text labels with relevant IDs.

RoadGeometry properties (see issue #113)

• After a click in the 3D widget over a road, get the 3D world coordinate from it in a text field.
• After a click in the 3D widget over a road, properly visualize coordinates and road metadata (eg lane ID).

Key Result: load a maliput multilane road netowork and get relevant information (eg. world and lane coordinates) after clicking on the road network.

Load from widget and enable rendering options

• Add a UI button that opens a file dialog to choose the file to load. (Needs review)
• Add a set of checkboxes to show/hide different features.
• Add a button that allows to reloading current loaded file. (Needs review)

Key Result: load a maliput multilane from the widget and enable/disable rendering of features

Simulation Functionality

• Establish a connection with the backend to receive the road network from it.
• Enable loading/rendering of a road network given a specification passed from the simulator.

Key Result: view/introspect road networks passed from the simulator.

From Andy:

• Load a monolane YAML in memory, taking path from command line [Merged - Loads a monolane YAML file from CLI. #39 and Add arrow to selected lanes #223].
• First working viewer prototype [Under review - Mesh conversion and visualization  #49]

[basicNew]

Weekly update:

• First working viewer prototype merged [Mesh conversion and visualization  #49].
• Bare bones section done (demo video).
• Now working on toggling layers on and off [Toggle layers/meshes on and off #32]

[basicNew]

Weekly update:

• [Toggle layers/meshes on and off #32] Working on show/hide layers. Have a first prototype, still needs code refactoring and some improvements (video here).

Weekly update:

• Show/hide layers PR is out (video) [Under review - Toggle meshes #61]

@maddog-tri let's use this one as the wishlist meta-issue. @agalbachicar will update it with the new issues and current priorities.

META issue is updated.

FYI, I'm working on " Set labels with the IDs for all the entities and no toggling can be done."

[agalbachicar]

Update

Information labels (see maliput/maliput_viz#14) --> Set labels with the IDs for all the entities and no toggling can be done.

Done with lanes and branch points.

Load from widget and enable rendering options --> Add a UI button that opens a file dialog to choose the file to load. (Needs review) and Add a button that allows to reloading current loaded file. (Needs review)

PR sent, under review.
