Basic Info
Description of contribution in a few bullet points
When removing nodes from the graph, as in the experimental lifetime mode, rviz will keep displaying the removed nodes until the display is toggled because it's not getting any updates telling it to remove the node from the visualization.
The change adds a DELETE_ALL maker to the front of the marker array message to clear any existing markers, which resolves the issue.
