The functions for allocating memory to a 2D histogram follow the style
of malloc
and free
. In addition they also perform their
own error checking. If there is insufficient memory available to
allocate a histogram then the functions call the error handler (with
an error number of GSL_ENOMEM
) in addition to returning a null
pointer. Thus if you use the library error handler to abort your program
then it isn't necessary to check every 2D histogram alloc
.
- Function: gsl_histogram2d * gsl_histogram2d_alloc (size_t nx, size_t ny)
-
This function allocates memory for a two-dimensional histogram with
nx bins in the x direction and ny bins in the y direction.
The function returns a pointer to a newly created
gsl_histogram2d
struct. If insufficient memory is available a null pointer is returned
and the error handler is invoked with an error code of
GSL_ENOMEM
. The bins and ranges must be initialized with one of
the functions below before the histogram is ready for use.
- Function: int gsl_histogram2d_set_ranges (gsl_histogram2d * h, const double xrange[], size_t xsize, const double yrange[], size_t ysize)
-
This function sets the ranges of the existing histogram h using
the arrays xrange and yrange of size xsize and
ysize respectively. The values of the histogram bins are reset to
zero.
- Function: int gsl_histogram2d_set_ranges_uniform (gsl_histogram2d * h, double xmin, double xmax, double ymin, double ymax)
-
This function sets the ranges of the existing histogram h to cover
the ranges xmin to xmax and ymin to ymax
uniformly. The values of the histogram bins are reset to zero.
- Function: void gsl_histogram2d_free (gsl_histogram2d * h)
-
This function frees the 2D histogram h and all of the memory
associated with it.
