cannam@95 58
cannam@95 59 <p>The guru interface supports two representations of complex numbers,
cannam@95 60 which we call the interleaved and the split format.
cannam@95 61
cannam@95 62 <p>The <dfn>interleaved</dfn> format is the same one used by the basic and
cannam@95 63 advanced interfaces, and it is documented in <a href="Complex-numbers.html#Complex-numbers">Complex numbers</a>.
cannam@95 64 In the interleaved format, you provide pointers to the real part of a
cannam@95 65 complex number, and the imaginary part understood to be stored in the
cannam@95 66 next memory location.
cannam@95 67 <a name="index-interleaved-format-241"></a>
cannam@95 68
cannam@95 69 <p>The <dfn>split</dfn> format allows separate pointers to the real and
cannam@95 70 imaginary parts of a complex array.
cannam@95 71 <a name="index-split-format-242"></a>
cannam@95 72
cannam@95 73 <p>Technically, the interleaved format is redundant, because you can
cannam@95 74 always express an interleaved array in terms of a split array with
cannam@95 75 appropriate pointers and strides. On the other hand, the interleaved
cannam@95 76 format is simpler to use, and it is common in practice. Hence, FFTW
cannam@95 77 supports it as a special case.
