SYNOPSIS

#include <cairo.h>
#include <kplot.h>

struct kdata *
kdata_buffer_alloc(size_t hintsz);

DESCRIPTION

The kdata_buffer_alloc function creates a reference-counted data sources for kplot(3), initially sized to hintsz with all x-values and y-values set to zero. It's primarily used to copy other data sources into an immutable one. Bucket values are copied into this structure via kdata_buffer_copy(3).

RETURN VALUES

kdata_buffer_alloc returns NULL if memory allocation failed.
