Chris@82 79
Chris@82 80 <p>Multi-dimensional transforms work much the same way as one-dimensional
Chris@82 81 transforms: you allocate arrays of <code>fftw_complex</code> (preferably
Chris@82 82 using <code>fftw_malloc</code>), create an <code>fftw_plan</code>, execute it as
Chris@82 83 many times as you want with <code>fftw_execute(plan)</code>, and clean up
Chris@82 84 with <code>fftw_destroy_plan(plan)</code> (and <code>fftw_free</code>).
Chris@82 85 </p>
Chris@82 86 <p>FFTW provides two routines for creating plans for 2d and 3d transforms,
Chris@82 87 and one routine for creating plans of arbitrary dimensionality.
Chris@82 88 The 2d and 3d routines have the following signature:
Chris@82 89 </p><div class="example">
Chris@82 90 <pre class="example">fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft_2d(int n0, int n1,
Chris@82 91 fftw_complex *in, fftw_complex *out,
Chris@82 92 int sign, unsigned flags);
Chris@82 93 fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft_3d(int n0, int n1, int n2,
Chris@82 94 fftw_complex *in, fftw_complex *out,
Chris@82 95 int sign, unsigned flags);
Chris@82 96 </pre></div>
Chris@82 97 <a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005f2d"></a>
Chris@82 98 <a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005f3d"></a>
Chris@82 99
Chris@82 100 <p>These routines create plans for <code>n0</code> by <code>n1</code> two-dimensional
Chris@82 101 (2d) transforms and <code>n0</code> by <code>n1</code> by <code>n2</code> 3d transforms,
Chris@82 102 respectively. All of these transforms operate on contiguous arrays in
Chris@82 103 the C-standard <em>row-major</em> order, so that the last dimension has the
Chris@82 104 fastest-varying index in the array. This layout is described further in
Chris@82 105 <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format.html#Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format">Multi-dimensional Array Format</a>.
Chris@82 106 </p>
Chris@82 107 <p>FFTW can also compute transforms of higher dimensionality. In order to
Chris@82 108 avoid confusion between the various meanings of the the word
Chris@82 109 &ldquo;dimension&rdquo;, we use the term <em>rank</em>
Chris@82 110 <a name="index-rank"></a>
Chris@82 111 to denote the number of independent indices in an array.<a name="DOCF2" href="#FOOT2"><sup>2</sup></a> For
Chris@82 112 example, we say that a 2d transform has rank&nbsp;2, a 3d transform has
Chris@82 113 rank&nbsp;3, and so on. You can plan transforms of arbitrary rank by
Chris@82 114 means of the following function:
Chris@82 115 </p>
Chris@82 116 <div class="example">
Chris@82 117 <pre class="example">fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft(int rank, const int *n,
Chris@82 118 fftw_complex *in, fftw_complex *out,
Chris@82 119 int sign, unsigned flags);
Chris@82 120 </pre></div>
Chris@82 121 <a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft"></a>
Chris@82 122
Chris@82 123 <p>Here, <code>n</code> is a pointer to an array <code>n[rank]</code> denoting an
Chris@82 124 <code>n[0]</code> by <code>n[1]</code> by &hellip; by <code>n[rank-1]</code> transform.
Chris@82 125 Thus, for example, the call
Chris@82 126 </p><div class="example">
Chris@82 127 <pre class="example">fftw_plan_dft_2d(n0, n1, in, out, sign, flags);
Chris@82 128 </pre></div>
Chris@82 129 <p>is equivalent to the following code fragment:
Chris@82 130 </p><div class="example">
Chris@82 131 <pre class="example">int n[2];
Chris@82 132 n[0] = n0;
Chris@82 133 n[1] = n1;
Chris@82 134 fftw_plan_dft(2, n, in, out, sign, flags);
Chris@82 135 </pre></div>
Chris@82 136 <p><code>fftw_plan_dft</code> is not restricted to 2d and 3d transforms,
Chris@82 137 however, but it can plan transforms of arbitrary rank.
Chris@82 138 </p>
Chris@82 139 <p>You may have noticed that all the planner routines described so far
Chris@82 140 have overlapping functionality. For example, you can plan a 1d or 2d
Chris@82 141 transform by using <code>fftw_plan_dft</code> with a <code>rank</code> of <code>1</code>
Chris@82 142 or <code>2</code>, or even by calling <code>fftw_plan_dft_3d</code> with <code>n0</code>
Chris@82 143 and/or <code>n1</code> equal to <code>1</code> (with no loss in efficiency). This
Chris@82 144 pattern continues, and FFTW&rsquo;s planning routines in general form a
Chris@82 145 &ldquo;partial order,&rdquo; sequences of
Chris@82 146 <a name="index-partial-order"></a>
Chris@82 147 interfaces with strictly increasing generality but correspondingly
Chris@82 148 greater complexity.
Chris@82 149 </p>
Chris@82 150 <p><code>fftw_plan_dft</code> is the most general complex-DFT routine that we
Chris@82 151 describe in this tutorial, but there are also the advanced and guru interfaces,
Chris@82 152 <a name="index-advanced-interface-1"></a>
Chris@82 153 <a name="index-guru-interface-1"></a>
Chris@82 154 which allow one to efficiently combine multiple/strided transforms
Chris@82 155 into a single FFTW plan, transform a subset of a larger
Chris@82 156 multi-dimensional array, and/or to handle more general complex-number
Chris@82 157 formats. For more information, see <a href="FFTW-Reference.html#FFTW-Reference">FFTW Reference</a>.

Chris@82 164 <p>The
Chris@82 165 term &ldquo;rank&rdquo; is commonly used in the APL, FORTRAN, and Common Lisp
Chris@82 166 traditions, although it is not so common in the C&nbsp;world.</p>
