Specialized copy

 

Quite frequently, only the upper or lower triangular portion of a given object needs to be copied, or, more generally, the upper or lower trapezoidal portion. The following call accommodates this situation: place HR here

figure5344

figure5348

figure5351

place HR here The possible values for shape are given in Table gif

Note:Since as part of the copy the data may be transposed, there is an ambiguity as to whether the indicated shape applies to the input object or output object. We adopt the convention that it is the input object that determines the shape of the data to be copied.
