Isn't that a 3x3 array, not a 3x4 array?

Anyway, I think the solution to your dilemma is the keyword "const".
(Or if that doesn't work, try "static").

didn't work. I tried:

	const float[3][4] elements = 
	[
		[1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4],
		[2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4],
		[3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4]		
	];

and the compiler returned "too many initializers" for each nested array.

y.

float[3][4] is really an array of 4 arrays of 3 floats.  =

You can initialize it like that:
	float[3][4] elements =3D
         [
  	    [1.1, 1.2, 1.3],
             [2.1, 2.2, 2.3],
             [3.1, 3.2, 3.3],
             [4.1, 4.2, 4.3]
         ];

Yes, because D puts the array dimension on the type, not the variable.
(But you can do it the C way if you want).

So
    float elements[4][3];
==
    float[3] elements[4];
==
    float[3][4] elements;

(At least, I think that's right. Disclaimer: I don't have a compiler
handy right now).

thanks for the help. The following worked.

	const float[3][4] elements =
	[
