Chris@10: Readers from the Fortran world are used to arrays stored in
Chris@10: <dfn>column-major</dfn> order (sometimes called “Fortran order”). This is
Chris@10: essentially the exact opposite of row-major order in that, here, the
Chris@10: <em>first</em> dimension's index varies most quickly.
Chris@10:
Chris@10: <p>If you have an array stored in column-major order and wish to
Chris@10: transform it using FFTW, it is quite easy to do. When creating the
Chris@10: plan, simply pass the dimensions of the array to the planner in
Chris@10: <em>reverse order</em>. For example, if your array is a rank three
Chris@10: <code>N x M x L</code> matrix in column-major order, you should pass the
Chris@10: dimensions of the array as if it were an <code>L x M x N</code> matrix
Chris@10: (which it is, from the perspective of FFTW). This is done for you
Chris@10: <em>automatically</em> by the FFTW legacy-Fortran interface
Chris@10: (see <a href="Calling-FFTW-from-Legacy-Fortran.html#Calling-FFTW-from-Legacy-Fortran">Calling FFTW from Legacy Fortran</a>), but you must do it
Chris@10: manually with the modern Fortran interface (see <a href="Reversing-array-dimensions.html#Reversing-array-dimensions">Reversing array dimensions</a>).
