MATDIAG

Create Diagonal Matrix

Block Screenshot

Description

The MATDIAG block create a diagonal matrix from a 1D vector. If the input is a Mx1 vector than the output is an MxM matrix.

The equivalent function of MATDIAG in Scilab is `diag(vm)`_ with vm a column vector.

Dialog box

  • Datatype (1=real double 2=Complex) It indicates the type of the output. It support only the two types double (1) and complex (2). If we input another entry in this label xcos will print the message “Datatype is not supported”. Properties : Type ‘vec’ of size 1.

Example

if the `input`_ of the block is U=ones(5,1) then the output is:
y=[1 0 0 0 0;0 1 0 0 0;0 0 1 0 0;0 0 0 1 0;0 0 0 0 1]
