# panda_freeobject

free the memory used by a previously created object

     #include&lt;panda/constants.h&gt;
     #include&lt;panda/functions.h&gt;
     void panda_freeobject (panda_pdf *output, panda_object *);

## DESCRIPTION

<command>PANDA INTERNAL</command>. This function call frees the memory used by an object. It is used during the cleanup process prior to finishing closing a PDF document. Even if a user of the API has added object types to their code, they should not have to call this function, as their objects should be added to the object tree via <command>panda_addchild</command>() to ensure they are written to disc by <command>panda_writeobject</command>() having been traversed by <command>panda_traverseobjects</command>() at PDF close time.

## RETURNS

None

## EXAMPLE

     #include&lt;panda/constants.h&gt;
     #include&lt;panda/functions.h&gt;
     panda_pdf *document;
     panda_object *obj;
     panda_init();
     document = panda_open("filename.pdf", "w");
     obj = panda_newobject(document, panda_object_normal);
     panda_freeobject(document, obj)l
