How to disable camera movement? about webviz HOT 4 OPEN

@vidaaudrey thanks for quick response! We have some redux storage which is filled during time (up to one minute) with ROS data. Then we want to allow relocalize a robot with drag&drop + rotate, so user can interact with robot component with mouse multiple times drag&drop + rotation. Looks like it may work for us, will check and let you know!

Hi @artvichi thank you for filing the issue. The quick way to fix it is to remount Worldview whenever the camaraState changes between controlled and uncontrolled:

 const onCameraStateChange = useCallback(newCamState => {
    setCameraState(newCamState);
  }, []);

  // use key to mount a different Worldview when it changed between controlled and uncontrolled
  const camProps = shouldNotMoveCam
    ? { cameraState, key: 0 }
    : {
        cameraState,
        onCameraStateChange,
        key: 1
      };
  return (<Worldview {...camProps}> </Worldview>);

Currently we are not expecting people to switch between controlled and uncontrolled very often. So the camera set up only happens once during the component life cycle. I'm curious what's your use case and how frequent is the switch? If that's a common case, we might update the Worldview internally to support it.

@artvichi did this end up working? Btw, I'm trying to get to know our open source community better, and would love to learn more about what you use Worldview/Webviz for. Could you perhaps shoot me an email at [email protected]?

I had the same problem, my workaround is using ref for the condition in the handler.

...
const [disableCamera, setDisableCamera] = useState(false);
const disableCameraRef = useRef(false);
disableCameraRef.current = disableCamera;
...

return <Worldview 
        ... 
        onCameraStateChange={state => !disableCameraRef.current && setCameraState(state) }
    ></Worldview>
