15.1 Creating a heightmap
=====================================

 > 15.2 Basic operations
As with other modules, you have to create a heightmap object first :

C++ : TCODHeightMap::TCODHeightMap(int w, int h)
C   : typedef struct {
          int w,h;
          float *values;
      } TCOD_heightmap_t;
      TCOD_heightmap_t *TCOD_heightmap_new(int w,int h)
Py  : heightmap_new(w,h)

ParameterDescription
w,hThe width and height of the heightmap.
Note that whereas most other modules use opaque structs, the TCOD_heightmap_t fields can be freely accessed. Thus, the TCOD_heightmap_new function returns a TCOD_heightmap_t pointer, not a TCOD_heightmap_t. The w and h fields should not be modified after the heightmap creation. The newly created heightmap is filled with 0.0 values.

Example :

C++ : TCODHeightMap myMap(50,50);
C   : TCOD_heightmap_t *my_map=TCOD_heightmap_new(50,50);
Py  : map=libtcod.heightmap_new(50,50)
      print map.w, map.h
