Allocate

The Allocate method allocates the specified number of rows and columns. For example, you can use Allocate( ) to allocate a block of uninitialized memory from the system for the grid.

Syntax

object.Allocate( NumRows, NumCols )

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
NumRows	Integer		required; This specifies the number of rows to be allocated
NumCols	Integer		required; This specifies the number of columns to be allocated

Remarks

Allocate sets the number of rows and columns in the grid and allocates the necessary memory to store the grid rows. This is equal to NumRows*NumCols*8 bytes.

Example

This example demonstrates how to allocate 50,400 bytes (90 rows * 70 columns * 8 bytes = 50,400 bytes) of memory.

'Define a new grid

Grid = SurferApp.NewGrid

 

'Allocate the number of rows and columns for the new grid.

Grid.Allocate(NumRows:=90,NumCols:=70)
