Map Builder (from XFig files)

Here is an easy gazebo map maker. With the (sensible) demise of gzbuilder (perhaps temporary), it became a major hassle to create a maze-like map in gazebo. So I coded up a python script to convert an xfig file. This is very basic, with no command line options. I'm releasing it into the good hands of the playerstagegazebo project. I don't have anywhere to host it, so I'll make it a wiki page: Fig2Model. Usage:

• using XFig (>= 3.2) create a top-down view of your map using polylines, polygons or boxes (not rounded ones)
• run fig2model mymap.fig
• <xi:include> the generated mymap.model in your world file and enjoy!
