Arrays in higher dimensions

[John Ketchum]

For 4-d array, with dimensions n1, n2, n3, and n4, something like the 
following:

gsl_matrix ***m4;
m4 = (gsl_matrix***)malloc(n4*sizeof(gsl_matrix**));
for (i=0; i<n4; i++) {
         m4[i] = (gsl_matrix**)malloc(n3*sizeof(gsl_matrix*));
         for (j=0; j<n3; j++) m4[i][j]=gsl_matrix_alloc(n1,n2);
}


This gives you a matrix of pointers to gsl matrices,  which is a 4-d construct.

Make sure you free all of the memory when you are done:

for (i=0; i<n4; i++) {
         for (j=0; j<n3; j++) gsl_matrix_free(m4[i][j]);
         free(m4[i]);
}
free(m4);
