Creates a tensor whose diagonals of certain 2D planes (specified by dim1 and dim2) are filled by input. To facilitate creating batched diagonal matrices, the 2D planes formed by the last two dimensions of the returned tensor are chosen by default.
The argument offset controls which diagonal to consider:
If offset = 0, it is the main diagonal.
If offset > 0, it is above the main diagonal.
If offset < 0, it is below the main diagonal.
The size of the new matrix will be calculated to make the specified diagonal of the size of the last input dimension. Note that for offset other than 0, the order of dim1
and dim2 matters. Exchanging them is equivalent to changing the sign of offset.
Applying torch_diagonal to the output of this function with the same arguments yields a matrix identical to input. However, torch_diagonal has different default dimensions, so those need to be explicitly specified.
