- ## @deftypefn {Function File} {} tril (@var{a}, @var{k})
- ## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} triu (@var{a}, @var{k})
- ## Return a new matrix formed by extracting extract the lower (@code{tril})
- ## or upper (@code{triu}) triangular part of the matrix @var{a}, and
- ## setting all other elements to zero. The second argument is optional,
- ## and specifies how many diagonals above or below the main diagonal should
- ## also be set to zero.
- ##
- ## The default value of @var{k} is zero, so that @code{triu} and
- ## @code{tril} normally include the main diagonal as part of the result
- ## matrix.
- ##
- ## If the value of @var{k} is negative, additional elements above (for
- ## @code{tril}) or below (for @code{triu}) the main diagonal are also
- ## selected.
- ##
- ## The absolute value of @var{k} must not be greater than the number of
- ## sub- or super-diagonals.
- ##
- ## For example,
- ##
- ## @example
- ## @group
- ## tril (ones (3), -1)
- ## @result{} 0 0 0
- ## 1 0 0
- ## 1 1 0
- ## @end group
- ## @end example
- ##
- ## @noindent
- ## and
- ##
- ## @example
- ## @group
- ## tril (ones (3), 1)
- ## @result{} 1 1 0
- ## 1 1 1
- ## 1 1 1
- ## @end group
- ## @end example
