gsi.diagExtract {compositions} | R Documentation

## Internal functions: Get the diagonal of a matrix

### Description

Get the main diagonal of a matrix, even if the matrix is 1x1.

### Usage

    gsi.diagExtract(x)

### Arguments

`x` | a matrix

### Details

The difference to original `diag` is that it always gives the diagonal and does nothing flawed in case of a 1x1 matrix or a single number considered as such matrix.

### Value

a vector containing the main diagonal entries of x.

### Note

Do not use gsi.* functions directly since they are internal functions of the package
