| 
								 | 
							
								<p>The output of a DFT of real data (r2c) contains symmetries that, in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								principle, make half of the outputs redundant (see <a href="What-FFTW-Really-Computes.html">What FFTW Really Computes</a>).  (Similarly for the input of an inverse c2r transform.)  In
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								practice, it is not possible to entirely realize these savings in an
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								efficient and understandable format that generalizes to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								multi-dimensional transforms.  Instead, the output of the r2c
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								transforms is <em>slightly</em> over half of the output of the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								corresponding complex transform.  We do not “pack” the data in any
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								way, but store it as an ordinary array of <code>fftw_complex</code> values.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								In fact, this data is simply a subsection of what would be the array in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the corresponding complex transform.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>Specifically, for a real transform of <em>d</em> (= <code>rank</code>)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								dimensions n<sub>0</sub> × n<sub>1</sub> × n<sub>2</sub> × … × n<sub>d-1</sub>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								, the complex data is an n<sub>0</sub> × n<sub>1</sub> × n<sub>2</sub> × … × (n<sub>d-1</sub>/2 + 1)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								 array of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>fftw_complex</code> values in row-major order (with the division rounded
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								down).  That is, we only store the <em>lower</em> half (non-negative
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								frequencies), plus one element, of the last dimension of the data from
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the ordinary complex transform.  (We could have instead taken half of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								any other dimension, but implementation turns out to be simpler if the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								last, contiguous, dimension is used.)
							 | 
						||
|

								<span id="index-out_002dof_002dplace-1"></span>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>For an out-of-place transform, the real data is simply an array with
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								physical dimensions n<sub>0</sub> × n<sub>1</sub> × n<sub>2</sub> × … × n<sub>d-1</sub>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								 in row-major order.
							 | 
						||
|

								<span id="index-in_002dplace-4"></span>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<span id="index-padding-3"></span>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>For an in-place transform, some complications arise since the complex data
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								is slightly larger than the real data.  In this case, the final
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								dimension of the real data must be <em>padded</em> with extra values to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								accommodate the size of the complex data—two extra if the last
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								dimension is even and one if it is odd.  That is, the last dimension of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the real data must physically contain
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								2 * (n<sub>d-1</sub>/2+1)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>double</code> values (exactly enough to hold the complex data).  This
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								physical array size does not, however, change the <em>logical</em> array
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								size—only
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								n<sub>d-1</sub>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								values are actually stored in the last dimension, and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								n<sub>d-1</sub>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								is the last dimension passed to the planner.
