1. Create and save a "template file" with the desired label and then call copyfile to make a copy of that file and then write your results to the new copy, or
2. If using Windows you can create and/or open the file using ActiveX and then apply the desired label from your MATLAB program's code.

Gabriel’s horn is formed by taking the graph of with the domain and rotating it in three dimensions about the axis.

There is a standard formula for calculating the volume of this shape, for a general function .Wwe will just state that the volume of the solid between a and b is:

This is an improper integral and it's hard to evaluate, but since in our interval

% Define the function for Gabriel's Horn

gabriels_horn = @(x) 1 ./ x;

% Create a range of x values

x = linspace(1, 40, 4000); % Increase the number of points for better accuracy

y = gabriels_horn(x);

% Create the meshgrid

theta = linspace(0, 2 * pi, 6000); % Increase theta points for a smoother surface

[X, T] = meshgrid(x, theta);

Y = gabriels_horn(X) .* cos(T);

Z = gabriels_horn(X) .* sin(T);

1. Note that I cant seem to rotate continuously around the x-axis. It appears to only support rotations from [0, 360] as opposed to [-inf, inf]. So, for example, if I'm looking in the Y+ direction and rotate around X so that I'm looking at the Z- direction, and then want to look in the Y- direction, I can't simply keep rotating around the X axis... instead have to rotate 180 degrees around the Z axis and then around the X axis. I'm not aware of any data visualization applications (e.g., ParaView, VisIt, EnSight) or CAD/CAE tools with such an interaction.
2. Note that at the 50 second mark, I set a view in ParaView: looking in the [X-, Y-, Z-] direction with Y+ up. Try as I might in Matlab, I'm unable to achieve that same view perspective.
