Is there an easy way to create a dynamically-allocated multi-dimensional array? The following is the way I am creating it at the moment, but there''s surely a faster (and more readable) method! Here I''m creating a vertices[9][3] array. For example, it could hold nine x,y,z vertices... int number = 9; float** vertices; vertices = (float**)malloc(sizeof(float*)*number); for( int i = 0 ; i < number ; ++i) { vertices = (float*)malloc(sizeof(float)*3); } Thanks, MadCow(an)

You could create a single dimensional array and cast it.

Depending on your data type you could use a valarray.

Or a mulitdimensional vector.

Are you using just C? If you''re using C++ you could do:

float (*p)[3] = new float[9][3];

Not sure how you could do it in C, sorry.

Still, in C or C++, I''d use a struct instead.

struct Vertex
{
float x, y, z;
};

Vertex *vertexarray = new Vertex[9];
