| name | exporting-visualizations |
| description | Use when the user wants to SEE robot data — visualize, plot, replay, or export a log or query result from bagel to a viewer or training format (Rerun, Lichtblick, PlotJuggler, LeRobot). |
Exporting visualizations
Pick the target by what the user is doing, then call the matching bagel export
tool:
| User goal | Target | Why first choice |
|---|
| Explore/replay multimodal data (3D, images, series) | Rerun (export_for_rerun) | Best open-source robotics viewer |
| Web-based bag review, Foxglove-style | Lichtblick (export_for_lichtblick) | Open-source; preferred over Foxglove |
| Plot signals from an artifact on the desktop | PlotJuggler (export_for_plotjuggler) | Artifacts land on the host for it |
| Build a training dataset | LeRobot (export_for_lerobot) | Direct dataset export |
Camera-topic GIFs for quick evidence come from the triage/pipeline workflows,
not an export tool. Export artifacts land under the artifacts directory on the
host — always report the output path.
