+<h3 class="section">7.1 Overview of Fortran interface</h3>
+
+<p>FFTW provides a file <code>fftw3.f03</code> that defines Fortran 2003
+interfaces for all of its C routines, except for the MPI routines
+described elsewhere, which can be found in the same directory as
+<code>fftw3.h</code> (the C header file).  In any Fortran subroutine where
+you want to use FFTW functions, you should begin with:
+</p>
+<a name="index-iso_005fc_005fbinding-1"></a>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">  use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding 
+  include 'fftw3.f03'
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>This includes the interface definitions and the standard
+<code>iso_c_binding</code> module (which defines the equivalents of C
+types).  You can also put the FFTW functions into a module if you
+prefer (see <a href="Defining-an-FFTW-module.html#Defining-an-FFTW-module">Defining an FFTW module</a>).
+</p>
+<p>At this point, you can now call anything in the FFTW C interface
+directly, almost exactly as in C other than minor changes in syntax.
+For example:
+</p>
+<a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005f2d-2"></a>
+<a name="index-fftw_005fexecute_005fdft-2"></a>
+<a name="index-fftw_005fdestroy_005fplan-3"></a>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">  type(C_PTR) :: plan
+  complex(C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX), dimension(1024,1000) :: in, out
+  plan = fftw_plan_dft_2d(1000,1024, in,out, FFTW_FORWARD,FFTW_ESTIMATE)
+  ...
+  call fftw_execute_dft(plan, in, out)
+  ...
+  call fftw_destroy_plan(plan)
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>A few important things to keep in mind are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> <a name="index-fftw_005fcomplex-2"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fPTR"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fINT"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fDOUBLE"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fDOUBLE_005fCOMPLEX"></a>
+FFTW plans are <code>type(C_PTR)</code>.  Other C types are mapped in the
+obvious way via the <code>iso_c_binding</code> standard: <code>int</code> turns
+into <code>integer(C_INT)</code>, <code>fftw_complex</code> turns into
+<code>complex(C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX)</code>, <code>double</code> turns into
+<code>real(C_DOUBLE)</code>, and so on. See <a href="FFTW-Fortran-type-reference.html#FFTW-Fortran-type-reference">FFTW Fortran type reference</a>.
+
+</li><li> Functions in C become functions in Fortran if they have a return value,
+and subroutines in Fortran otherwise.
+
+</li><li> The ordering of the Fortran array dimensions must be <em>reversed</em>
+when they are passed to the FFTW plan creation, thanks to differences
+in array indexing conventions (see <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format.html#Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format">Multi-dimensional Array Format</a>).  This is <em>unlike</em> the legacy Fortran interface
+(see <a href="Fortran_002dinterface-routines.html#Fortran_002dinterface-routines">Fortran-interface routines</a>), which reversed the dimensions
+for you.  See <a href="Reversing-array-dimensions.html#Reversing-array-dimensions">Reversing array dimensions</a>.
+
+</li><li> <a name="index-alignment-4"></a>
+<a name="index-SIMD-2"></a>
+Using ordinary Fortran array declarations like this works, but may
+yield suboptimal performance because the data may not be not aligned
+to exploit SIMD instructions on modern proessors (see <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html#SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>). Better performance will often be obtained
+by allocating with &lsquo;<samp>fftw_alloc</samp>&rsquo;. See <a href="Allocating-aligned-memory-in-Fortran.html#Allocating-aligned-memory-in-Fortran">Allocating aligned memory in Fortran</a>.
+
+</li><li> <a name="index-fftw_005fexecute-5"></a>
+Similar to the legacy Fortran interface (see <a href="FFTW-Execution-in-Fortran.html#FFTW-Execution-in-Fortran">FFTW Execution in Fortran</a>), we currently recommend <em>not</em> using <code>fftw_execute</code>
+but rather using the more specialized functions like
+<code>fftw_execute_dft</code> (see <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html#New_002darray-Execute-Functions">New-array Execute Functions</a>).  
+However, you should execute the plan on the <code>same arrays</code> as the
+ones for which you created the plan, unless you are especially
+careful.  See <a href="Plan-execution-in-Fortran.html#Plan-execution-in-Fortran">Plan execution in Fortran</a>.  To prevent
+you from using <code>fftw_execute</code> by mistake, the <code>fftw3.f03</code>
+file does not provide an <code>fftw_execute</code> interface declaration.
+
+</li><li> <a name="index-flags-8"></a>
+Multiple planner flags are combined with <code>ior</code> (equivalent to &lsquo;<samp>|</samp>&rsquo; in C).  e.g. <code>FFTW_MEASURE | FFTW_DESTROY_INPUT</code> becomes <code>ior(FFTW_MEASURE, FFTW_DESTROY_INPUT)</code>.  (You can also use &lsquo;<samp>+</samp>&rsquo; as long as you don&rsquo;t try to include a given flag more than once.)
