diagonal() can extract the view of the 1D or more D tensor of zero or more elements on the diagonal from the 2D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below:
*Memos:
diagonal() can be used with torch or a tensor.
The 1st argument(input) with torch or using a tensor(Required-Type:tensor of int, float, complex or bool).
The 2nd argument with torch or the 1st argument with a tensor is offset(Optional-Default:0-Type:int).
The 3rd argument with torch or the 2nd argument with a tensor is dim1(Optional-Default:0-Type:int).
The 4th argument with torch or the 3rd argument with a tensor is dim2(Optional-Default:1-Type:int).
