C++ function with pointer argument

I am writing a C++ program that outputs data to a file, generates a python script and calls pyplot to make the plotting.

However, when I pass the arguments in terms of the pointers, it can be compiled properly, but cannot run. It returns error. When I use Xcode debug mode and execute it step by step, it gives correct result by chance but not always. Sometimes it also returns an error.

I doubt that it might be caused by some memory allocation problem, but I cannot identify what is exactly the problem.

My codes are as following:

1) main

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cmath>
#include "PyCPlot.h"

using namespace std;

double pi = 3.1415926;

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {

    int nline = 100;

    double * np_list = new double(nline);
    double * pack_fraction_np = new double (nline);

    for (int i=0; i<nline; i++){
        np_list[i] = double(i)/double(nline)*2*pi;
        pack_fraction_np[i] = cos(np_list[i]);
    }

    PyCPlot_data_fout("RandomPacking", nline, np_list, pack_fraction_np);
    PyCPlot_pythonscript("RandomPacking", "Random Packing");
    PyCPlot_pyplot("RandomPacking", "Random Packing");

    return 0;
}

2) head file

#ifndef PyCPlot_h
#define PyCPlot_h

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;


int PyCPlot_data_fout(string datafilename, int nline, double * x, double *y){
    ofstream fout;
    fout.open(datafilename+".txt");
    fout << nline << endl;
    for (int i=0; i<nline; i++){
        fout << x[i] << "  " << y[i] << endl;
    }
    fout.close();
    return 0;
}

int PyCPlot_pythonscript(string datafilename, string plttitle){

    string strhead = "import numpy as np\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\n";
    string strpltfig = "plt.figure()\n";
    string strpltplt = "plt.plot(xlist, ylist)\n";
    string strplttit = "plt.title('"+plttitle+"')\n";
    string strpltshw = "plt.show()\n";

    string strfileopen ="f = open('"+datafilename+".txt', 'r')\n";
    string strreadline ="size = map(int, f.readline().split())\n";
    string strpltlist ="xlist = np.zeros((size))\nylist = np.zeros((size))\n";
    string strfor = "for i in range(size[0]):\n    xlist[i], ylist[i] = map(float, f.readline().split())\n";

    ofstream pyout;
    pyout.open("PyCPlot_"+datafilename+".py");
    pyout << strhead << strfileopen << strreadline << strpltlist << strfor;
    pyout << strpltfig << strpltplt << strplttit << strpltshw;
    pyout.close();
    return 0;
}

int PyCPlot_pyplot(string datafilename, string plttitle){

    string strsystemsh ="source ~/.bashrc; python PyCPlot_"+datafilename+".py";
    system(strsystemsh.c_str());

    return 0;
}

#endif /* PyCPlot_h */

When it is ran, I get below error message

malloc: *** error for object 0x1002002e8: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
