How to use these mysterious RVIZ plugins from the interface rather than the config file?

I have noticed that your RVIZ has many beautiful plugins, e.g., Global Planner, and Controller. However, I cannot find them by pushing the button ‘add.’ The only way I know is to write something in the config file of RVIZ. However, If I do not know how to write the config, these plugins will be lost forever. There should be a way to use them from the interface.

Hello @bluebird,

to add a new dockable Panel widget to RViz using the GUI you have to click on Panels from the menu bar on the top.

Like this:

rviz2_plugin_panels

Cheers,
