cannam@95 61 Readers from the Fortran world are used to arrays stored in
cannam@95 62 <dfn>column-major</dfn> order (sometimes called &ldquo;Fortran order&rdquo;). This is
cannam@95 63 essentially the exact opposite of row-major order in that, here, the
cannam@95 64 <em>first</em> dimension's index varies most quickly.
cannam@95 65
cannam@95 66 <p>If you have an array stored in column-major order and wish to
cannam@95 67 transform it using FFTW, it is quite easy to do. When creating the
cannam@95 68 plan, simply pass the dimensions of the array to the planner in
cannam@95 69 <em>reverse order</em>. For example, if your array is a rank three
cannam@95 70 <code>N x M x L</code> matrix in column-major order, you should pass the
cannam@95 71 dimensions of the array as if it were an <code>L x M x N</code> matrix
cannam@95 72 (which it is, from the perspective of FFTW). This is done for you
cannam@95 73 <em>automatically</em> by the FFTW legacy-Fortran interface
cannam@95 74 (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
cannam@95 75 manually with the modern Fortran interface (see <a href="Reversing-array-dimensions.html#Reversing-array-dimensions">Reversing array dimensions</a>).
