Typically, yes. It doesn't actually matter what you call it, just as long as you know what it is you're doing, and keep doing it that way. But yes, you generally think of it as:

Code:

allocate pointers for rows 
for each row
    allocate one row (which is really just the number of columns for that row)

But it doesn't actually matter how you think of it, just as long as you are consistent in your usage of X and Y.

Quzah.
