C++ 3D Matrix Using References

Request for a sanity check ...

I am storing a 3D matrix in a 1D array as follows:

double * myVector = new double[NCHANNELS*NROWS*NCOLUMNS];

I want to be able to access myVector using [channel][row][column] syntax, so I am creating a C++ reference:

double (& my3dMatrix)[NCHANNELS][NROWS][NCOLUMNS] = myVector;

Have I used the proper syntax here, i.e., will

my3dMatrix[channel][row][column] 

return

*(myVector + channel*NROWS*NCOLUMNS + row*NCOLUMNS + column)?

Thanks.
