% SPEYE SPEYE Sparse Identity Matrix
% 
% Usage
% 
% Creates a sparse identity matrix of the given size.  The syntax for
% its use is
% 
%   y = speye(m,n)
% 
% which forms an m x n sparse matrix with ones on the main diagonal,
% or
% 
%   y = speye(n)
% 
% which forms an n x n sparse matrix with ones on the main diagonal.  The
% matrix type is a float single precision matrix.
