<span id="Real_002ddata-DFT-Array-Format-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">4.3.4 Real-data DFT Array Format</h4>
 | 
						|
<span id="index-r2c_002fc2r-multi_002ddimensional-array-format-1"></span>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<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.)
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<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.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<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.
