RQT presentation mode

jade

Install a set of branches to different plugins that clean up the rqt window to optionally get rid of unnecessary ui elements and topics:

Disable image transport plugins that aren't going to be used:

  cd ~/catkin_ws/src
  git clone https://github.com/lucasw/image_common
  cd image_common
  git checkout remotes/origin/disable_plugins
  git checkout -b disable_plugins
  git branch --set-upstream-to=remotes/origin/disable_plugins

This is a temporary merge of three different pull requests that reduce wasted screen space and prevent a changing resolution from shrinking the image:

  cd ~/catkin_ws/src
  git clone https://github.com/lucasw/rqt_common_plugins
  cd rqt_common_plugins
  git checkout remotes/origin/rqtimageview-hide-menu-dont-shrink-subscribe-saved
  git checkout -b rqtimageview-hide-menu-dont-shrink-subscribe-saved
  git branch --set-upstream-to=remotes/origin/rqtimageview-hide-menu-dont-shrink-subscribe-saved

This allows an rqt plugin title bar to be eliminated entirely:

  cd ~/catkin_ws/src
  git clone https://github.com/lucasw/qt_gui_core.git
  cd qt_gui_core
  git checkout remotes/origin/hide-title-clean-window-name
  git checkout -b hide-title
  git branch --set-upstream-to=remotes/origin/hide-title

kinetic

  cd ~/catkin_ws/src
  git clone https://github.com/lucasw/qt_gui_core.git
  cd qt_gui_core
  git checkout remotes/origin/kinetic-hide-title-perspective-window-name
  git checkout -b kkinetic-hide-title-perspective-window-name
  git branch --set-upstream-to=remotes/origin/kinetic-hide-title-perspective-window-name

The main thing wrong is that there are no image labels, but at least the images can be bigger:

rqt_presentation_mode

Also am I missing something because File and Help are visible?
