`scipy.sparse._construct:eye`

Signature

   def     eye (    m    ,    n    =  None   ,    k    =  0   ,    dtype    =  <class 'float'>   ,    format    =  None     )

Sparse matrix of chosen shape with ones on the kth diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

Returns a sparse matrix (m x n) where the kth diagonal is all ones and everything else is zeros.

m : int: Number of rows in the matrix.
n : int, optional: Number of columns. Default: m.
k : int, optional: Diagonal to place ones on. Default: 0 (main diagonal).
dtype : dtype, optional: Data type of the matrix.
format : str, optional: Sparse format of the result, e.g., format="csr", etc.

new_matrix : sparse matrix: Sparse matrix of chosen shape with ones on the kth diagonaland zeros elsewhere.
