    Invalid types 'double*[double]' for array subscript

    Hi people I have the error I named the question in the function: (With "here" I comment where the compiler send me the error):

    Code:
    void ftshifting(matriz filter,int rows,int cols){ 
     
     double r2,c2,tmp1_3,tmp2_4; 
     r2 = (rows+1)/2;  c2 = (cols+1)/2;
    
     for (int i = 0; i<rows/2; i++){
       for (int k = 0; k<cols/2; k++){
           tmp1_3 = filter[i][k]; 
           filter[i][k] = filter[i+r2][k+c2];  //error
           filter[i+r2][k+c2] = tmp1_3;     //error
           tmp2_4 = filter[i+r2][k];          //error
           filter[i+r2][k] = filter[i][k+c2];  //error
           filter[i][k+c2] = tmp2_4;         //error
        } 
       }
    }
    
    double **createmat(int rows,int cols){ 
      double **m; 
      m=new double*[rows];
       for(int i=0;i<rows;i++) 
          m[i]=new double[cols]; 
     
    return m;
    }
    Code:
    
    
    The strange thing is that it worked before inserting the typedef double**matriz;
    I tested the function and it worked. Also, other function use this data and it works normally, example: (no errors at compiler time)

    Code:
    void pre_filter_Computations(matriz radius,matriz theta,int cols,int rows){ 
    
     double X[rows][cols],Y[rows][cols];
      double x[cols],y[rows];
     double epsilon = 0.0001;
     for(int i=0;i<cols;i++){ 
        x[i]=((double)(i-cols)/2)/((double)cols/2); 
     } 
     for(int z=0;z<rows;z++){ 
        y[z]=-(((double)(z-rows)/2)/((double)rows/2)); 
      } 
    for(int m=0;m<cols;m++){ 
       for(int n=0;n<rows;n++){
          X[m][n]=x[m];
          Y[m][n]=y[n];
      }
     } 
         for(int a=0;a<rows;a++){ 
      for(int b=0;b<cols;b++){ 
        X[a][b] = pow(X[a][b],2);
        Y[a][b] = pow(Y[a][b],2); 
        X[a][b] = X[a][b] + Y[a][b]; 
        radius[a][b] = sqrt(X[a][b]); 
       }
           } 
         radius[rows/2][cols/2]=1;
          for(int a=0;a<rows;a++){
      for(int b=0;b<cols;b++){
        radius [a][b]= radius[a][b] + epsilon;
        theta[a][b] = atan2(Y[a][b],X[a][b])*180/PI; 
       } 
     }
    }

    Array subscripts must be of an integer type. Due to type promotions, when you add an integer and a double, the result type is double. This means that in for example
    Code:
    filter[i+r2][k+c2]
    i+r2 and k+c2 produce a double value and this represents a constraint violation in the compiler. You can fix it by casting the result or the double operand to int
    Code:
    filter[i + (int)r2][k + (int)c2]
    though the better approach is not to mix the types in the first place.

    Why is it that you keep using pointers and dynamic memory when we've pointed out std::vector to you?
    Furthermore, PLEASE use std::vector's at function. There is no reason not you unless you can prove that it's a bottleneck. It's safer and it aids debugging.
