Maxon API Data & Memory

The Maxon API provides various mathematical data types and functions:

• Basic Data Types
• Mathematical Functions
• Vectors
• Matrices

The Maxon API also provides means to allocate low-level memory. In most cases this should not be necessary.

• Memory Allocation

More advanced data types of the Maxon API are:

• Strings & Texts
• Time-based Types
