81 <p>The multi-dimensional arrays passed to <code>fftw_plan_dft</code> etcetera
82 are expected to be stored as a single contiguous block in
83 <em>row-major</em> order (sometimes called &ldquo;C order&rdquo;). Basically, this
84 means that as you step through adjacent memory locations, the first
85 dimension&rsquo;s index varies most slowly and the last dimension&rsquo;s index
86 varies most quickly.
87 </p>
88 <p>To be more explicit, let us consider an array of rank <em>d</em> whose
89 dimensions are n<sub>0</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>1</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;&hellip;&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>d-1</sub>
90 . Now, we specify a location in the array by a
91 sequence of <em>d</em> (zero-based) indices, one for each dimension:
92 (i<sub>0</sub>, i<sub>1</sub>, i<sub>2</sub>,..., i<sub>d-1</sub>).
93 If the array is stored in row-major
94 order, then this element is located at the position
95 i<sub>d-1</sub> + n<sub>d-1</sub> * (i<sub>d-2</sub> + n<sub>d-2</sub> * (... + n<sub>1</sub> * i<sub>0</sub>)).
96 </p>
97 <p>Note that, for the ordinary complex DFT, each element of the array
98 must be of type <code>fftw_complex</code>; i.e. a (real, imaginary) pair of
99 (double-precision) numbers.
100 </p>
101 <p>In the advanced FFTW interface, the physical dimensions <em>n</em> from
102 which the indices are computed can be different from (larger than)
103 the logical dimensions of the transform to be computed, in order to
104 transform a subset of a larger array.
105 <a name="index-advanced-interface-2"></a>
106 Note also that, in the advanced interface, the expression above is
107 multiplied by a <em>stride</em> to get the actual array index&mdash;this is
108 useful in situations where each element of the multi-dimensional array
109 is actually a data structure (or another array), and you just want to
110 transform a single field. In the basic interface, however, the stride
111 is 1.
