numpy.tril

numpy.tril(m, k=0)[source]

Lower triangle of an array.

Return a copy of an array with elements above the k-th diagonal zeroed. For arrays with ndim exceeding 2, tril will apply to the final two axes.

Parameters:

marray_like, shape (…, M, N)

Input array.

kint, optional

Diagonal above which to zero elements. k = 0 (the default) is the main diagonal, k < 0 is below it and k > 0 is above.

Returns:

trilndarray, shape (…, M, N)

Lower triangle of m, of same shape and data-type as m.
