Hello Manuel,

The function pointCloud takes 3-D coordinate points as input argument. However, the variable 'a' here in the screenshot seems to be an 'sensor_msgs/PointCloud2' message struct. To return a point cloud, you would have to first use rosReadXYZ to extract the 3-D coordinate points and use it as the input to the pointCloud function.

In this case, the following code shall return the point cloud from a:

>> pts = rosReadXYZ(a);

>> ptCloud = pointCloud(pts);

Hope this helps,

Josh
