Detailed Description

View in nbviewer Open in SWAN This tutorial illustrates the Fast Fourier Transforms interface in ROOT.

FFT transform types provided in ROOT:

Sine/cosine transforms:

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