<h3 class="section">22.14 2D Histogram allocation</h3>

<p>The functions for allocating memory to a 2D histogram follow the style
of <code>malloc</code> and <code>free</code>.  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 <code>GSL_ENOMEM</code>) 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 <code>alloc</code>.

<div class="defun">
&mdash; Function: gsl_histogram2d * <b>gsl_histogram2d_alloc</b> (<var>size_t nx, size_t ny</var>)<var><a name="index-gsl_005fhistogram2d_005falloc-2036"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>This function allocates memory for a two-dimensional histogram with
<var>nx</var> bins in the x direction and <var>ny</var> bins in the y direction. 
The function returns a pointer to a newly created <code>gsl_histogram2d</code>
struct. If insufficient memory is available a null pointer is returned
and the error handler is invoked with an error code of
<code>GSL_ENOMEM</code>. The bins and ranges must be initialized with one of
the functions below before the histogram is ready for use.
