Rope around the earth

Imagine that the earth is a perfect sphere with a radius of 6371000 meters and there is a rope tightly wrapped around the equator. With one line of MATLAB code determine how much the rope will be lifted above the surface if you cut it and insert a 1 meter segment of rope into it (and then expand the whole rope back into a circle again, of course).

Setting the Microsoft Azure Information Protection label

Does your company or organization require that all your Word Documents and Excel workbooks be labeled with a Microsoft Azure Information Protection label or else they can't be saved? These are the labels that are right below the tool ribbon that apply a category label such as "Public", "Business Use", or "Highly Restricted". If so, you can either

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
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.

For #1 you can do

copyfile(templateFileName, newDataFileName);
writematrix(myData, newDataFileName);

If the template has the AIP label applied to it, then the copy will also inherit the same label.

For #2, here is a demo for how to apply the code using ActiveX.

% Test to set the Microsoft Azure Information Protection label on an Excel workbook.

% https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1901140-why-does-azure-information-protection-popup-pause-the-matlab-script-when-i-use-actxserver?s_tid=ta_ans_results
clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear;  % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format compact;
% Define your workbook file name.
excelFullFileName = fullfile(pwd, '\testAIP.xlsx');
% Make sure it exists.  Open Excel as an ActiveX server if it does.
if isfile(excelFullFileName)
    % If the workbook exists, launch Excel as an ActiveX server.
    Excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');
    Excel.visible = true; % Make the server visible.
    fprintf('Excel opened successfully.\n');
    fprintf('Your workbook file exists:\n"%s".\nAbout to try to open it.\n', excelFullFileName);
    % Open up the existing workbook named in the variable fullFileName.
    Excel.Workbooks.Open(excelFullFileName);
    fprintf('Excel opened file successfully.\n');
else
    % File does not exist.  Alert the user.
    warningMessage = sprintf('File does not exist:\n\n"%s"\n', excelFullFileName);
    fprintf('%s\n', warningMessage);
    errordlg(warningMessage);
    return;
end
% If we get here, the workbook file exists and has been opened by Excel.
% Ask Excel for the Microsoft Azure Information Protection (AIP) label of the workbook we just opened.
label = Excel.ActiveWorkbook.SensitivityLabel.GetLabel 
% See if there is a label already.  If not, these will be null:
existingLabelID = label.LabelId 
existingLabelName = label.LabelName 
% Create a label.
label = Excel.ActiveWorkbook.SensitivityLabel.CreateLabelInfo 
label.LabelId = "a518e53f-798e-43aa-978d-c3fda1f3a682";
label.LabelName = "Business Use";
% Assign the label to the workbook.
fprintf('Setting Microsoft Azure Information Protection to "Business Use", GUID of a518e53f-798e-43aa-978d-c3fda1f3a682\n');
Excel.ActiveWorkbook.SensitivityLabel.SetLabel(label, label);
% Save this workbook with the new AIP setting we just created.
Excel.ActiveWorkbook.Save;
% Shut down Excel.
Excel.ActiveWorkbook.Close;
Excel.Quit;
% Excel is now closed down.  Delete the variable from the MATLAB workspace.
clear Excel;
% Now check to see if the AIP label has been set 
% by opening up the file in Excel and looking at the AIP banner.
winopen(excelFullFileName)

Note that there is a line in there that gets an AIP label from the existing workbook, if there is one at all. If there is not one, you can set one. But to determine what the proper LabelId (that crazy long hexadecimal number) should be, you will probably need to open an existing document that already has the label that you want set (applied to it) and then read that label with this line:

label = Excel.ActiveWorkbook.SensitivityLabel.GetLabel

Ask Me Anything about image analysis or the Mathworks community

Hello, everyone! I’m Mark Hayworth, but you might know me better in the community as Image Analyst. I've been using MATLAB since 2006 (18 years). My background spans a rich career as a former senior scientist and inventor at The Procter & Gamble Company (HQ in Cincinnati). I hold both master’s & Ph.D. degrees in optical sciences from the College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona, specializing in imaging, image processing, and image analysis. I have 40+ years of military, academic, and industrial experience with image analysis programming and algorithm development. I have experience designing custom light booths and other imaging systems. I also work with color and monochrome imaging, video analysis, thermal, ultraviolet, hyperspectral, CT, MRI, radiography, profilometry, microscopy, NIR, and Raman spectroscopy, etc. on a huge variety of subjects.

I'm thrilled to participate in MATLAB Central's Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, a fantastic platform for knowledge sharing and community engagement. Following Adam Danz’s insightful AMA on staff contributors in the Answers forum, I’d like to discuss topics in the area of image analysis and processing. I invite you to ask me anything related to this field, whether you're seeking recommendations on tools, looking for tips and tricks, my background, or career development advice. Additionally, I'm more than willing to share insights from my experiences in the MATLAB Answers community, File Exchange, and my role as a member of the Community Advisory Board. If you have questions related to your specific images or your custom MATLAB code though, I'll invite you to ask those in the Answers forum. It's a more appropriate forum for those kinds of questions, plus you can get the benefit of other experts offering their solutions in addition to me.

For the coming weeks, I'll be here to engage with your questions and help shed light on any topics you're curious about.

Puzzle challenge - distance to horizon

In one line of MATLAB code, compute how far you can see at the seashore. In otherwords, how far away is the horizon from your eyes? You can assume you know your height and the diameter or radius of the earth.

Trick to enlarge a matrix by padding it with zeros.

To enlarge an array with more rows and/or columns, you can set the lower right index to zero. This will pad the matrix with zeros.

m = rand(2, 3) % Initial matrix is 2 rows by 3 columns
mCopy = m;
% Now make it 2 rows by 5 columns
m(2, 5) = 0
m = mCopy; % Go back to original matrix.
% Now make it 3 rows by 3 columns
m(3, 3) = 0
m = mCopy; % Go back to original matrix.
% Now make it 3 rows by 7 columns
m(3, 7) = 0
