Returns a tensor with the contents in diagonal as k[0]-th to k[1]-th diagonals of a matrix, with everything else padded with padding. num_rows and num_cols specify the dimension of the innermost matrix of the output. If both are not specified, the op assumes the innermost matrix is square and infers its size from k and the innermost dimension of diagonal. If only one of them is specified, the op assumes the unspecified value is the smallest possible based on other criteria.

Let diagonal have r dimensions [I, J, ..., L, M, N]. The output tensor has rank r+1 with shape [I, J, ..., L, M, num_rows, num_cols] when only one diagonal is given (k is an integer or k[0] == k[1]). Otherwise, it has rank r with shape [I, J, ..., L, num_rows, num_cols].

The second innermost dimension of diagonal has double meaning. When k is scalar or k[0] == k[1], M is part of the batch size [I, J, ..., M], and the output tensor is:

output[i, j, ..., l, m, n]
  = diagonal[i, j, ..., l, n-max(d_upper, 0)] ; if n - m == d_upper
    padding_value                             ; otherwise

Otherwise, M is treated as the number of diagonals for the matrix in the same batch (M = k[1]-k[0]+1), and the output tensor is:

output[i, j, ..., l, m, n]
  = diagonal[i, j, ..., l, diag_index, index_in_diag] ; if k[0] <= d <= k[1]
    padding_value                                     ; otherwise

where d = n - m, diag_index = k[1] - d, and index_in_diag = n - max(d, 0) + offset.

offset is zero except when the alignment of the diagonal is to the right.

offset = max_diag_len - diag_len(d) ; if (`align` in {RIGHT_LEFT, RIGHT_RIGHT}
                                           and `d >= 0`) or
                                         (`align` in {LEFT_RIGHT, RIGHT_RIGHT}
                                           and `d <= 0`)
         0                          ; otherwise

where diag_len(d) = min(cols - max(d, 0), rows + min(d, 0)).

diagonal A Tensor with rank k >= 1.
name A name for the operation (optional).
k Diagonal offset(s). Positive value means superdiagonal, 0 refers to the main diagonal, and negative value means subdiagonals. k can be a single integer (for a single diagonal) or a pair of integers specifying the low and high ends of a matrix band. k[0] must not be larger than k[1].
num_rows The number of rows of the output matrix. If it is not provided, the op assumes the output matrix is a square matrix and infers the matrix size from d_lower, d_upper, and the innermost dimension of diagonal.
num_cols The number of columns of the output matrix. If it is not provided, the op assumes the output matrix is a square matrix and infers the matrix size from d_lower, d_upper, and the innermost dimension of diagonal.
padding_value The value to fill the area outside the specified diagonal band with. Default is 0.
align Some diagonals are shorter than max_diag_len and need to be padded. align is a string specifying how superdiagonals and subdiagonals should be aligned, respectively. There are four possible alignments: "RIGHT_LEFT" (default), "LEFT_RIGHT", "LEFT_LEFT", and "RIGHT_RIGHT". "RIGHT_LEFT" aligns superdiagonals to the right (left-pads the row) and subdiagonals to the left (right-pads the row). It is the packing format LAPACK uses. cuSPARSE uses "LEFT_RIGHT", which is the opposite alignment.

A Tensor. Has the same type as diagonal.
