+<h3 class="section">2.2 Complex Multi-Dimensional DFTs</h3>
+
+<p>Multi-dimensional transforms work much the same way as one-dimensional
+transforms: you allocate arrays of <code>fftw_complex</code> (preferably
+using <code>fftw_malloc</code>), create an <code>fftw_plan</code>, execute it as
+many times as you want with <code>fftw_execute(plan)</code>, and clean up
+with <code>fftw_destroy_plan(plan)</code> (and <code>fftw_free</code>).
+
+   <p>FFTW provides two routines for creating plans for 2d and 3d transforms,
+and one routine for creating plans of arbitrary dimensionality. 
+The 2d and 3d routines have the following signature:
+<pre class="example">     fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft_2d(int n0, int n1,
+                                fftw_complex *in, fftw_complex *out,
+                                int sign, unsigned flags);
+     fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft_3d(int n0, int n1, int n2,
+                                fftw_complex *in, fftw_complex *out,
+                                int sign, unsigned flags);
+</pre>
+   <p><a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005f2d-39"></a><a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005f3d-40"></a>
+These routines create plans for <code>n0</code> by <code>n1</code> two-dimensional
+(2d) transforms and <code>n0</code> by <code>n1</code> by <code>n2</code> 3d transforms,
+respectively.  All of these transforms operate on contiguous arrays in
+the C-standard <dfn>row-major</dfn> order, so that the last dimension has the
+fastest-varying index in the array.  This layout is described further in
+<a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format.html#Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format">Multi-dimensional Array Format</a>.
+
+   <p>FFTW can also compute transforms of higher dimensionality.  In order to
+avoid confusion between the various meanings of the the word
+&ldquo;dimension&rdquo;, we use the term <em>rank</em>
+<a name="index-rank-41"></a>to denote the number of independent indices in an array.<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1" name="fnd-1"><sup>1</sup></a>  For
+example, we say that a 2d transform has rank&nbsp;2, a 3d transform has
+rank&nbsp;3, and so on.  You can plan transforms of arbitrary rank by
+means of the following function:
+
+<pre class="example">     fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft(int rank, const int *n,
+                             fftw_complex *in, fftw_complex *out,
+                             int sign, unsigned flags);
+</pre>
+   <p><a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft-42"></a>
+Here, <code>n</code> is a pointer to an array <code>n[rank]</code> denoting an
+<code>n[0]</code> by <code>n[1]</code> by <small class="dots">...</small> by <code>n[rank-1]</code> transform. 
+Thus, for example, the call
+<pre class="example">     fftw_plan_dft_2d(n0, n1, in, out, sign, flags);
+</pre>
+   <p>is equivalent to the following code fragment:
+<pre class="example">     int n[2];
+     n[0] = n0;
+     n[1] = n1;
+     fftw_plan_dft(2, n, in, out, sign, flags);
+</pre>
+   <p><code>fftw_plan_dft</code> is not restricted to 2d and 3d transforms,
+however, but it can plan transforms of arbitrary rank.
+
+   <p>You may have noticed that all the planner routines described so far
+have overlapping functionality.  For example, you can plan a 1d or 2d
+transform by using <code>fftw_plan_dft</code> with a <code>rank</code> of <code>1</code>
+or <code>2</code>, or even by calling <code>fftw_plan_dft_3d</code> with <code>n0</code>
+and/or <code>n1</code> equal to <code>1</code> (with no loss in efficiency).  This
+pattern continues, and FFTW's planning routines in general form a
+&ldquo;partial order,&rdquo; sequences of
+<a name="index-partial-order-43"></a>interfaces with strictly increasing generality but correspondingly
+greater complexity.
+
+   <p><code>fftw_plan_dft</code> is the most general complex-DFT routine that we
+describe in this tutorial, but there are also the advanced and guru interfaces,
+<a name="index-advanced-interface-44"></a><a name="index-guru-interface-45"></a>which allow one to efficiently combine multiple/strided transforms
+into a single FFTW plan, transform a subset of a larger
+multi-dimensional array, and/or to handle more general complex-number
+formats.  For more information, see <a href="FFTW-Reference.html#FFTW-Reference">FFTW Reference</a>.
