Extract matrices out of a symbolic matrix

Let's assume I have a matrix which looks something like:
Mtx = [2,3*x;4*x^2,1]
Is it "symbolically" possible to get 3 matrices out of this, which look like:
Mtx1 = [2,0;0,1]
Mtx2 = [0,3*x;0,0]
Mtx3 = [0,0;4*x^2,0]
Is there a function, that can do this or should I do it manually?

It looks like you are trying to extract the diagonal, upper triangular and lower triangular parts of the matrix. These commands will do it for larger matrices as well:
Mtx1 = diag(diag(Mtx));
Mtx2 = triu(Mtx,1);
Mtx3 = tril(Mtx,-1);
