# Function diag
Create a diagonal matrix or retrieve the diagonal of a matrix
When `x` is a vector, a matrix with vector `x` on the diagonal will be returned.
When `x` is a two dimensional matrix, the matrixes `k`th diagonal will be returned as vector.
When k is positive, the values are placed on the super diagonal.
When k is negative, the values are placed on the sub diagonal.
## Syntax
```js
math.diag(X)
math.diag(X, format)
math.diag(X, k)
math.diag(X, k, format)
```
### Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`x` | Matrix &#124; Array | A two dimensional matrix or a vector
`k` | number &#124; BigNumber | The diagonal where the vector will be filled in or retrieved. Default value: 0.
`format` | string | The matrix storage format. Default value: 'dense'.
### Returns
Type | Description
---- | -----------
Matrix &#124; Array | Diagonal matrix from input vector, or diagonal from input matrix.
### Throws

## Examples
```js
// create a diagonal matrix
math.diag([1, 2, 3]) // returns [[1, 0, 0], [0, 2, 0], [0, 0, 3]]
math.diag([1, 2, 3], 1) // returns [[0, 1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 2, 0], [0, 0, 0, 3]]
math.diag([1, 2, 3], -1) // returns [[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 2, 0], [0, 0, 3]]
// retrieve the diagonal from a matrix
const a = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
math.diag(a) // returns [1, 5, 9]
```
