Allocating memory for CreateCustomElevGridLayer

dcoggin

Mike,

I realized today that when creating a custom elev grid layer, I can't delete the pointer to the elevation array I pass to the SDK. I assume the SDK deletes the memory when the layer is closed. Is it important whether I malloc or new the initial memory?

Thanks for your help.

Mike,

Also, the SDK is appending a space and opening and closing parentheses, " ()", to the layer description I enter in CreateCustomElevGridLayer. I am using the 1/11/12 build.

Thanks,
David

David,

While the SDK doesn't free the memory for the layer, it does expect it to stick around while the layer is open. You would need to free the memory yourself after you call GM_CloseLayer.

I will fix the issue with the description and provide you with a new SDK build.

Thanks,

David,

I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/GlobalMapperSDK_latest_beta.zip which should fix the issue with the description.
