Description

The Extract Triangular Matrix block creates a triangular matrix output from the upper or lower triangular elements of an M-by-N input matrix. A length-M 1-D vector input is treated as an M-by-1 matrix.

The Extract parameter selects between the two components of the input:

• Upper — Copies the elements on and above the main diagonal of the input matrix to an output matrix of the same size. The first row of the output matrix is therefore identical to the first row of the input matrix. The elements below the main diagonal of the output matrix are zero.

• Lower — Copies the elements on and below the main diagonal of the input matrix to an output matrix of the same size. The first column of the output matrix is therefore identical to the first column of the input matrix. The elements above the main diagonal of the output matrix are zero.

The output has the same frame status as the input.

Examples

The example below shows the extraction of upper and lower triangles from a 5-by-3 input matrix.
