aglMalloc

Requests a specified amount of memory for use as a new data array.

voidp aglMalloc(
  size_t numbytes
  );

Parameters

numbytes

The number of bytes to be allocated.

Return Value

Returns a void pointer to the memory block allocated, or NULL if available memory is not sufficient.

Remarks

Array Visualizer treats the allocated memory block as a one-dimensional array whose elements are of the type UCHAR. To change the structure or data type, call aglReshape.

The caller should eventually deallocate the memory by calling aglFree.
