Detailed Description

This tutorial illustrates the Fast Fourier Transforms interface in ROOT.

FFT transform types provided in ROOT:

• "C2CFORWARD" - a complex input/output discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions, -1 in the exponent
• "C2CBACKWARD"- a complex input/output discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions, +1 in the exponent
• "R2C" - a real-input/complex-output discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions,
• "C2R" - inverse transforms to "R2C", taking complex input (storing the non-redundant half of a logically Hermitian array) to real output
• "R2HC" - a real-input DFT with output in "halfcomplex" format, i.e. real and imaginary parts for a transform of size n stored as r0, r1, r2, ..., rn/2, i(n+1)/2-1, ..., i2, i1
• "HC2R" - computes the reverse of FFTW_R2HC, above
• "DHT" - computes a discrete Hartley transform

Sine/cosine transforms:

• DCT-I (REDFT00 in FFTW3 notation)
• DCT-II (REDFT10 in FFTW3 notation)
• DCT-III(REDFT01 in FFTW3 notation)
• DCT-IV (REDFT11 in FFTW3 notation)
• DST-I (RODFT00 in FFTW3 notation)
• DST-II (RODFT10 in FFTW3 notation)
• DST-III(RODFT01 in FFTW3 notation)
• DST-IV (RODFT11 in FFTW3 notation)

First part of the tutorial shows how to transform the histograms Second part shows how to transform the data arrays directly
