# scipy.linalg.tri

`scipy.linalg.``tri`(N, M=None, k=0, dtype=None)

  Construct (N, M) matrix filled with ones at and below the k-th diagonal.

  The matrix has A[i,j] == 1 for i <= j + k

  Parameters : | N : integer The size of the first dimension of the matrix. M : integer or None The size of the second dimension of the matrix. If M is None, M = N is assumed. k : integer Number of subdiagonal below which matrix is filled with ones. k = 0 is the main diagonal, k < 0 subdiagonal and k > 0 superdiagonal. dtype : dtype Data type of the matrix.
  Returns : | A : array, shape (N, M)

  Examples

      >>> from scipy.linalg import tri
      >>> tri(3, 5, 2, dtype=int)
      array([[1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
             [1, 1, 1, 1, 0],
             [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]])
      >>> tri(3, 5, -1, dtype=int)
      array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
             [1, 0, 0, 0, 0],
             [1, 1, 0, 0, 0]])
