    Problems with multidim array

    Hello,
    i had some problems lately with that and posted here and got some good solutions. I am now at the end and getting a segmentationfault and i know where the error is but i don't know how to work around it.

    The example code says:

    Code:
    static float x[3][3]={{0,0.5,0.7}, {0.3,0.9,0.2}, {1,1,1}};
      for (i=0; i < 3; i++) {
        testpoints->InsertPoint(i, x[i]);
      };
    I changed it to my need, but is there a way to make it like the examplecode?

    Here is my code:

    Code:
    void pcavis2(vector<SimpVec> vecs2)
    {
      int i;
      static float (*vecs2f)[3] = new float[vecs2.size()][3];
      for (int j=0; j < vecs2.size(); j++){
        vecs2f[j][0] = vecs2[j].coordx;
        vecs2f[j][1] = vecs2[j].coordy;
        vecs2f[j][2] = vecs2[j].coordz;
      };
      for (i=0; i < vecs2.size(); i++) {
        testpoints->InsertPoint(i, vecs2f[i]);
      };
    Thanks in advance!

    When you are dynamically allocating a multi-dimensional array you should be doing something to this effect.

    Code:
    //note they way I wrote this
    float *array[3];
    for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
       array[i] = new float[3];
    This gives you a 3x3 array
