NAME
cxPyrNew
- allocates a pyramid structure
C SPECIFICATION
#include <cx/DataAccess.h>
cxPyramid *cxPyrNew(long count)
FORTRAN SPECIFICATION
integer function cxPyrNew(count)
integer count
PARAMETERS
-
count
-
The number of layers in the pyramid.
FUNCTION RETURN VALUE
The return value for this function is a pointer to a newly allocated
pyramid structure.
DESCRIPTION
cxPyrNew allocates a pyramid with a base lattice and count
layers, where each layer consists of a lattice and a connection list,
and returns a pointer to the structure.
The newly allocated pyramid has NULL pointers for all lattice and
connection list components.
Routines cxPyrSet and cxPyrLayerSet set the base lattice
and layer contents of the pyramid.
The allocated pyramid is a shared memory object with reference
counting.
The reference count is set to one upon allocation and need not be
incremented for use.
See the IRIS Explorer Module Writer's Guide for more information on
reference counted, shared memory objects.
