Subgraph memory question

Does the the sc.subgraph matrix take up the same amount of memory regardless of how many columns are referenced and unused?

for instance if I were to reference all 60 columns but not populate them with result - leave them all empty. Would it be taking up the same amount of space as if they were left un-referenced?

I am pretty sure If it is already there whether it is referenced does not impact memory use?

EDIT:
Therefore, Would it be wasteful to have a Subgraph that is 99% NULL values, or is every subgraph in sc.subgraph allocated based on the chart size ahead of time anyway?

Whenever accessing an element of the Data array of the sc.Subgraph at index 1 or higher, then it is allocated. So this does increase memory use. So you should be careful with this.

so In that case if a chart were doing a full recalculation but The elements of the the Data Array of the subgraph Are not accessed until sc.Index == sc.ArraySize-1 Then the memory would not get allocated until then is that correct?

Yes, but once it is allocated it remains allocated unless there is a full reload of the chart data like through Chart >> Reload and Recalculate.
