d@0 61 The multi-dimensional arrays passed to <code>fftw_plan_dft</code> etcetera
d@0 62 are expected to be stored as a single contiguous block in
d@0 63 <dfn>row-major</dfn> order (sometimes called &ldquo;C order&rdquo;). Basically, this
d@0 64 means that as you step through adjacent memory locations, the first
d@0 65 dimension's index varies most slowly and the last dimension's index
d@0 66 varies most quickly.
d@0 67
d@0 68 <p>To be more explicit, let us consider an array of rank d whose
d@0 69 dimensions are n<sub>0</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>1</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;&hellip;&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>d-1</sub>. Now, we specify a location in the array by a
d@0 70 sequence of d (zero-based) indices, one for each dimension:
d@0 71 (i<sub>0</sub>, i<sub>1</sub>, i<sub>2</sub>,..., i<sub>d-1</sub>). If the array is stored in row-major
d@0 72 order, then this element is located at the position
d@0 73 i<sub>d-1</sub> + n<sub>d-1</sub> * (i<sub>d-2</sub> + n<sub>d-2</sub> * (... + n<sub>1</sub> * i<sub>0</sub>)).
d@0 74
d@0 75 <p>Note that, for the ordinary complex DFT, each element of the array
d@0 76 must be of type <code>fftw_complex</code>; i.e. a (real, imaginary) pair of
d@0 77 (double-precision) numbers.
d@0 78
d@0 79 <p>In the advanced FFTW interface, the physical dimensions n from
d@0 80 which the indices are computed can be different from (larger than)
d@0 81 the logical dimensions of the transform to be computed, in order to
d@0 82 transform a subset of a larger array.
d@0 83 <a name="index-advanced-interface-113"></a>Note also that, in the advanced interface, the expression above is
d@0 84 multiplied by a <dfn>stride</dfn> to get the actual array index&mdash;this is
d@0 85 useful in situations where each element of the multi-dimensional array
d@0 86 is actually a data structure (or another array), and you just want to
d@0 87 transform a single field. In the basic interface, however, the stride
d@0 88 is 1.
