Counting from the top right element to the the bottom left element of an indicative 5x5 matrix, is there a quick way to automate the simulation of all the antidiagonals?
a(1,1) =1
a(2,1) =2
a(1,2) =2
a(3,1)= 3
a(2,2)=3
a(1,3)=3
a(4,1)=4
a(2,3)=4
a(3,2)=4
a(1,4)=4
a(1,5)=5
a(4,2)=5
a(3,3)=5
a(2,4)=5
a(5,1)=5
a(5,5)=1

Sigh. I know what an anti-diagonal is.
What you have not said is what is your goal. You filled only the first 5 anti-diagonals. Then you stuffed the (5,5) element with a 1. So what are you looking to get? Why did you not fill the other ant-diagonals? How do we know what you are looking for here?
Finally, what does it mean to SIMULATE anti-diagonal?

how can I take the elements of all antidiagonals from any matrix?

Flip the matrix using the flip function then call diag.

The second argument in the 'diag' function provides for the smaller diagonals, which "flipped" would be the smaller anti-diagonals.
