Drake - how to visualize frame in LCM

How do I visualize different coordinate frames in drake when using the LCM visualizer, such as the body frame attached to the end effector of the Kuka?

Here's some simple code for drawing frames in Drake Visualizer, w/ simple video:
https://github.com/EricCousineau-TRI/repro/blob/ea2d7987/drake_stuff/drake_viz_draw_frames/README.md

Does this help at all? If so, yeah, I can help to PR against Drake.

Some notes / caveats:

  • This doesn't draw pydrake.geometry.FrameId as does meshcat; instead, it simply draws a frame (whatever you name it) using RigidTransform, w.r.t. world frame.
  • This is unlike things like /tf in ROS, where you can publish a frame w.r.t. another frame.
