[R] how to convert the lower triangle of a matrix to a symmetricmatrix

[Olivier ETERRADOSSI]

Sorry if this answer was already given, or if I miss the point,
but did you have a look to "lowerTriangle" and "upperTriangle" functions 
in the "gdata" package ?

# example
# A<-matrix(rnorm(9),3,3)
# B<-B<-matrix(NA,dim(A)[1],dim(A)[2])
# lowerTriangle(B)<-lowerTriangle(A)
# upperTriangle(B)<-lowerTriangle(A)
# diag(B)<-diag(A)

Hope this helps, sorry if it was already answered.
Olivier
