We show that the set of all possible constant diagonals of a bounded Hilbert space operator is always convex. This, in particular, answers an open question of Bourin (2003). Moreover, we show that the joint numerical range of a commuting operator tuple is, in general, not convex, which fills a gap in the literature. We also prove that the Asplund–Ptak numerical range (which is convex for pairs of operators) is, in general, not convex for tuples of operators.
