+<h3 class="section">7.2 Reversing array dimensions</h3>
+
+<a name="index-row_002dmajor-6"></a>
+<a name="index-column_002dmajor-1"></a>
+<p>A minor annoyance in calling FFTW from Fortran is that FFTW&rsquo;s array
+dimensions are defined in the C convention (row-major order), while
+Fortran&rsquo;s array dimensions are the opposite convention (column-major
+order). See <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format.html#Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format">Multi-dimensional Array Format</a>.  This is just a
+bookkeeping difference, with no effect on performance.  The only
+consequence of this is that, whenever you create an FFTW plan for a
+multi-dimensional transform, you must always <em>reverse the
+ordering of the dimensions</em>.
+</p>
+<p>For example, consider the three-dimensional (L&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;N
+) arrays:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">  complex(C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX), dimension(L,M,N) :: in, out
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>To plan a DFT for these arrays using <code>fftw_plan_dft_3d</code>, you could do:
+</p>
+<a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005f3d-2"></a>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">  plan = fftw_plan_dft_3d(N,M,L, in,out, FFTW_FORWARD,FFTW_ESTIMATE)
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>That is, from FFTW&rsquo;s perspective this is a N&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;L
+ array.
+<em>No data transposition need occur</em>, as this is <em>only
+notation</em>.  Similarly, to use the more generic routine
+<code>fftw_plan_dft</code> with the same arrays, you could do:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">  integer(C_INT), dimension(3) :: n = [N,M,L]
+  plan = fftw_plan_dft_3d(3, n, in,out, FFTW_FORWARD,FFTW_ESTIMATE)
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>Note, by the way, that this is different from the legacy Fortran
+interface (see <a href="Fortran_002dinterface-routines.html#Fortran_002dinterface-routines">Fortran-interface routines</a>), which automatically
+reverses the order of the array dimension for you.  Here, you are
+calling the C interface directly, so there is no &ldquo;translation&rdquo; layer.
+</p>
+<a name="index-r2c_002fc2r-multi_002ddimensional-array-format-2"></a>
+<p>An important thing to keep in mind is the implication of this for
+multidimensional real-to-complex transforms (see <a href="Multi_002dDimensional-DFTs-of-Real-Data.html#Multi_002dDimensional-DFTs-of-Real-Data">Multi-Dimensional DFTs of Real Data</a>).  In C, a multidimensional real-to-complex DFT
+chops the last dimension roughly in half (N&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;L
+ real input
+goes to N&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;L/2+1
+ complex output).  In Fortran, because
+the array dimension notation is reversed, the <em>first</em> dimension of
+the complex data is chopped roughly in half.  For example consider the
+&lsquo;<samp>r2c</samp>&rsquo; transform of L&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;N
+ real input in Fortran:
+</p>
+<a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005fr2c_005f3d-2"></a>
+<a name="index-fftw_005fexecute_005fdft_005fr2c-1"></a>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">  type(C_PTR) :: plan
+  real(C_DOUBLE), dimension(L,M,N) :: in
+  complex(C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX), dimension(L/2+1,M,N) :: out
+  plan = fftw_plan_dft_r2c_3d(N,M,L, in,out, FFTW_ESTIMATE)
+  ...
+  call fftw_execute_dft_r2c(plan, in, out)
+</pre></div>
+
+<a name="index-in_002dplace-9"></a>
+<a name="index-padding-5"></a>
+<p>Alternatively, for an in-place r2c transform, as described in the C
+documentation we must <em>pad</em> the <em>first</em> dimension of the
+real input with an extra two entries (which are ignored by FFTW) so as
+to leave enough space for the complex output. The input is
+<em>allocated</em> as a 2[L/2+1]&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;N
+ array, even though only
+L&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;N
+ of it is actually used.  In this example, we will
+allocate the array as a pointer type, using &lsquo;<samp>fftw_alloc</samp>&rsquo; to
+ensure aligned memory for maximum performance (see <a href="Allocating-aligned-memory-in-Fortran.html#Allocating-aligned-memory-in-Fortran">Allocating aligned memory in Fortran</a>); this also makes it easy to reference the
+same memory as both a real array and a complex array.
