That is correct, if you want DC to be in the center you need to
rearrange the grid. Have a look at how my 1D transform works, that
will describe how the positive and negative frequencies are arranged.
While having DC in the center is convenient for dispay purposes, it
isn't the most convenient for typical subsequent processing.
