Returns a tensor with the contents in `diagonal` as `k[0]`-th to `k[1]`-th
diagonals of a matrix, with everything else padded with `padding`. `num_rows`
and `num_cols` specify the dimension of the innermost matrix of the output. If
both are not specified, the op assumes the innermost matrix is square and
infers its size from `k` and the innermost dimension of `diagonal`. If only
one of them is specified, the op assumes the unspecified value is the smallest
possible based on other criteria.

Let `diagonal` have `r` dimensions `[I, J, ..., L, M, N]`. The output tensor
has rank `r+1` with shape `[I, J, ..., L, M, num_rows, num_cols]` when only
one diagonal is given (`k` is an integer or `k[0] == k[1]`). Otherwise, it has
rank `r` with shape `[I, J, ..., L, num_rows, num_cols]`.

The second innermost dimension of `diagonal` has double meaning. When `k` is
scalar or `k[0] == k[1]`, `M` is part of the batch size \[I, J, ..., M\], and
the output tensor is:

    output[i, j, ..., l, m, n]
      = diagonal[i, j, ..., l, n-max(d_upper, 0)] ; if n - m == d_upper
        padding_value                             ; otherwise

Otherwise, `M` is treated as the number of diagonals for the matrix in the
same batch (`M = k[1]-k[0]+1`), and the output tensor is:

    output[i, j, ..., l, m, n]
      = diagonal[i, j, ..., l, diag_index, index_in_diag] ; if k[0] <= d <= k[1]
        padding_value                                     ; otherwise

where `d = n - m`, `diag_index = k[1] - d`, and
`index_in_diag = n - max(d, 0) + offset`.

`offset` is zero except when the alignment of the diagonal is to the right.

    offset = max_diag_len - diag_len(d) ; if (`align` in {RIGHT_LEFT, RIGHT_RIGHT}
                                               and `d >= 0`) or
                                             (`align` in {LEFT_RIGHT, RIGHT_RIGHT}
                                               and `d <= 0`)
             0                          ; otherwise

where `diag_len(d) = min(cols - max(d, 0), rows + min(d, 0))`.

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `diagonal` | A `Tensor` with `rank k >= 1`. |
| `name` | A name for the operation (optional). |
| `k` | Diagonal offset(s). Positive value means superdiagonal, 0 refers to the main diagonal, and negative value means subdiagonals. `k` can be a single integer (for a single diagonal) or a pair of integers specifying the low and high ends of a matrix band. `k[0]` must not be larger than `k[1]`. |
| `num_rows` | The number of rows of the output matrix. If it is not provided, the op assumes the output matrix is a square matrix and infers the matrix size from `d_lower`, `d_upper`, and the innermost dimension of `diagonal`. |
| `num_cols` | The number of columns of the output matrix. If it is not provided, the op assumes the output matrix is a square matrix and infers the matrix size from `d_lower`, `d_upper`, and the innermost dimension of `diagonal`. |
| `padding_value` | The value to fill the area outside the specified diagonal band with. Default is 0. |
| `align` | Some diagonals are shorter than `max_diag_len` and need to be padded. `align` is a string specifying how superdiagonals and subdiagonals should be aligned, respectively. There are four possible alignments: "RIGHT_LEFT" (default), "LEFT_RIGHT", "LEFT_LEFT", and "RIGHT_RIGHT". "RIGHT_LEFT" aligns superdiagonals to the right (left-pads the row) and subdiagonals to the left (right-pads the row). It is the packing format LAPACK uses. cuSPARSE uses "LEFT_RIGHT", which is the opposite alignment. |
