The ComplexToReal command takes an rtable or list of complex entries, and returns rtables with the real and imaginary parts.

The RealToComplex command takes two lists/rtables of real entries, representing the real and imaginary parts, and returns an rtable with the combined complex entries.

Any passed rtables must have the same order (C_order or Fortran_order), have no indexing function, and use rectangular storage.

Any passed rtables must have the same number of elements, but need not have the same dimensions. Internally, one-dimensional aliases of the rtables are used.

When no container is passed for storage, the output of ComplexToReal or RealToComplex is an rtable of the same subtype and dimensions as the first input rtable.

The input container Data is converted to an rtable of datatype complex[8], and the input containers DataReal and DataImaginary are converted to rtables of datatype float[8]. For this reason, it is more efficient to pass containers already having the appropriate datatypes.

The ComplexToReal and RealToComplex commands are not thread safe.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{SignalProcessing}\right)\:$

The SignalProcessing[ComplexToReal] and SignalProcessing[RealToComplex] commands were introduced in Maple 2021.
