triu — upper triangular matrix


\begin{rail}
Triu : 'triu' '(' Matrix (',' Scalar)? ')' ;
\end{rail}
triu returns the upper triangular part of the argument matrix. If no scalar argument is present, this is all the terms on the main diagonal and above. The remainder of the matrix is set to zero. If the optional scalar argument is present, then it specifies the diagonal to use instead of the main diagonal. The convention used is that positive values are above the main diagonal, negative values are below the main diagonal, and zero is the main diagonal. $\Longrightarrow$ This is not an built-in function. This function is normally loaded on start-up from the triu.r file in the standard rlib directory. Use of the -r option, incorrectly setting the RLAB_LIB_DIR environmental variable, or modifying triu.r may make this function unavailable.
