Chris@82: 
Chris@82: <p>The &ldquo;guru&rdquo; interface to FFTW is intended to expose as much as possible
Chris@82: of the flexibility in the underlying FFTW architecture.  It allows one
Chris@82: to compute multi-dimensional &ldquo;vectors&rdquo; (loops) of multi-dimensional
Chris@82: transforms, where each vector/transform dimension has an independent
Chris@82: size and stride.
Chris@82: <a name="index-vector"></a>
Chris@82: One can also use more general complex-number formats, e.g. separate real
Chris@82: and imaginary arrays.
Chris@82: </p>
Chris@82: <p>For those users who require the flexibility of the guru interface, it is
Chris@82: important that they pay special attention to the documentation lest they
Chris@82: shoot themselves in the foot.
