Chris@42 82 <p>Readers from the Fortran world are used to arrays stored in
Chris@42 83 <em>column-major</em> order (sometimes called &ldquo;Fortran order&rdquo;). This is
Chris@42 84 essentially the exact opposite of row-major order in that, here, the
Chris@42 85 <em>first</em> dimension&rsquo;s index varies most quickly.
Chris@42 86 </p>
Chris@42 87 <p>If you have an array stored in column-major order and wish to
Chris@42 88 transform it using FFTW, it is quite easy to do. When creating the
Chris@42 89 plan, simply pass the dimensions of the array to the planner in
Chris@42 90 <em>reverse order</em>. For example, if your array is a rank three
Chris@42 91 <code>N x M x L</code> matrix in column-major order, you should pass the
Chris@42 92 dimensions of the array as if it were an <code>L x M x N</code> matrix
Chris@42 93 (which it is, from the perspective of FFTW). This is done for you
Chris@42 94 <em>automatically</em> by the FFTW legacy-Fortran interface
Chris@42 95 (see <a href="Calling-FFTW-from-Legacy-Fortran.html#Calling-FFTW-from-Legacy-Fortran">Calling FFTW from Legacy Fortran</a>), but you must do it
Chris@42 96 manually with the modern Fortran interface (see <a href="Reversing-array-dimensions.html#Reversing-array-dimensions">Reversing array dimensions</a>).
