PlotJuggler is a fast, open-source desktop application for visualizing time series data with a drag-and-drop interface and OpenGL rendering. It loads files like CSV, ULog, and MCAP, subscribes to live streams (ROS, MQTT, WebSocket, ZeroMQ), and is extensible via plugins.

Use cases

• plot time series from csv files
• visualize rosbag data
• debug robot sensor data in real time
• inspect px4 ulog flight logs
• stream and plot mqtt data live
• analyze imu and joint data at high frequency

When to choose

• you need fast plotting of millions of data points
• you work with ROS or PX4 robotics logs and live topics
• you want reusable plot layouts and data transforms like derivatives and filters

When to avoid

• you need statistical or scientific plotting with publication-quality figures
• you want a headless or purely programmatic plotting library
• you need business intelligence dashboards rather than time series debugging
