 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The guru interface supports two representations of complex numbers,
 | 
						|
which we call the interleaved and the split format.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<p>The <em>interleaved</em> format is the same one used by the basic and
 | 
						|
advanced interfaces, and it is documented in <a href="Complex-numbers.html">Complex numbers</a>.
 | 
						|
In the interleaved format, you provide pointers to the real part of a
 | 
						|
complex number, and the imaginary part understood to be stored in the
 | 
						|
next memory location.
 | 
						|
<span id="index-interleaved-format"></span>
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The <em>split</em> format allows separate pointers to the real and
 | 
						|
imaginary parts of a complex array.
 | 
						|
<span id="index-split-format"></span>
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Technically, the interleaved format is redundant, because you can
 | 
						|
always express an interleaved array in terms of a split array with
 | 
						|
appropriate pointers and strides.  On the other hand, the interleaved
 | 
						|
format is simpler to use, and it is common in practice.  Hence, FFTW
 | 
						|
supports it as a special case.
