Dedicated to High-Performance Data Visualization
PlotJuggler.com is an independent community resource designed to help engineers, researchers, and hobbyists master the art of time-series data analysis. Our goal is to provide a central hub for tutorials, downloads, and best practices for the PlotJuggler ecosystem.
Our Unofficial Status
Please note that this website is not the official home of the PlotJuggler project, nor are we the developers of the software. PlotJuggler is an open-source masterpiece created and maintained by Davide Faconti. We built this site because we believe such a powerful tool deserves a comprehensive technical portal to support its growing global user base.
Built for the Robotics Community
PlotJuggler was born out of the need for a faster, more flexible way to visualize ROS bag files and micro-controller telemetry. Today, it is used by a diverse range of professionals:
- Robotics Engineers: Debugging motion control and sensor fusion.
- UAV Developers: Analyzing PX4 and ArduPilot flight logs.
- IoT Architects: Monitoring real-time MQTT and WebSocket data.
- Academic Researchers: Visualizing complex time-series datasets for publications.
Why Open Source Matters
We are staunch advocates for the open-source model. Because PlotJuggler is transparent, it is inherently more secure, highly customizable via its C++ plugin architecture, and free from the vendor lock-in typical of expensive proprietary alternatives like MATLAB.
Our contribution is simple: documenting this complexity and making it accessible to the next generation of engineers.
Support the Original Project
While we provide the documentation and tutorials here at PlotJuggler.com, the heavy lifting—coding, debugging, and maintaining the core software—is done by the original author and community contributors.
