# init(forIncrementalLoad:)

Initializes a newly allocated bitmap image representation for incremental loading.

## Declaration

```swift
init(forIncrementalLoad: ())
```

## Discussion

Discussion The receiver returns itself after setting its size and data buffer to zero. You can then call incrementalLoad(from:complete:) to incrementally add image data.
