numpy.matlib.eye — NumPy v1.11 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy.matlib.eye(n, M=None, k=0, dtype=<type 'float'>)[source]

Return a matrix with ones on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

Parameters: n : int Number of rows in the output. M : int, optional Number of columns in the output, defaults to n. k : int, optional Index of the diagonal: 0 refers to the main diagonal, a positive value refers to an upper diagonal, and a negative value to a lower diagonal. dtype : dtype, optional Data-type of the returned matrix.
Returns: I : matrix A n x M matrix where all elements are equal to zero, except for the _k_-th diagonal, whose values are equal to one.

Examples
