But one cannot freely assign anywhere in x:

I, can, of course, convert everything to a linear matrix and
index by
i+w*j, but what's the point of having multidimensional
matrices in D if
they don't allocate them fully?
If you want multidimensional array (matrices, tensors) use either
std.experimental.ndslice or mir.ndslice (they are (effectively)
the
same package, one is a dev version of the other).
see https://github.com/libmir/
It does allocate them fully, you're indexing them wrong.
void main() {
auto x = new int[][](1, 2);
x[0][1] = 3;
}
No, that isn't the reason, it was cause I was going past the
end when I added some new code(the [3,6] was suppose to be
[3][6]).
I tried it before and it was crashing before I added the new
code and visualD seems to not be updating variable values
properly anymore so I can't really debug ;/
In anycase, what is the correct notation for indexing?
x = new int[][](width, height)
and x[height][width] or x[width][height]?
The trick is to remember that in D int[][] is effectively
(int[])[].
As such indexing the outer dimension gives you the inner
dimension.
so x[height-1][width-1] will give you the "last" element.
visually if - is an int
[ - - - - - - - - -]
[ - - - - 9 - - - -]
[ - - - - - - - - -]
the first index (i.e index it once and it) gives you the row,
index it again to get the value.
so that 9 is
x[1][4]
