d@0 58
d@0 59 <p>The guru interface supports two representations of complex numbers,
d@0 60 which we call the interleaved and the split format.
d@0 61
d@0 62 <p>The <dfn>interleaved</dfn> format is the same one used by the basic and
d@0 63 advanced interfaces, and it is documented in <a href="Complex-numbers.html#Complex-numbers">Complex numbers</a>.
d@0 64 In the interleaved format, you provide pointers to the real part of a
d@0 65 complex number, and the imaginary part understood to be stored in the
d@0 66 next memory location.
d@0 67 <a name="index-interleaved-format-233"></a>
d@0 68 The <dfn>split</dfn> format allows separate pointers to the real and
d@0 69 imaginary parts of a complex array.
d@0 70 <a name="index-split-format-234"></a>
d@0 71 Technically, the interleaved format is redundant, because you can
d@0 72 always express an interleaved array in terms of a split array with
d@0 73 appropriate pointers and strides. On the other hand, the interleaved
d@0 74 format is simpler to use, and it is common in practice. Hence, FFTW
d@0 75 supports it as a special case.
