Dear administrator,

i'm very sorry to contact you.

I have replied "how to do diagonal edge detection in image processing?" by
postingsome code of Matlab.but today i received a email from The MathWorks,
Inc.They tell me that i can't post it in public.so i want you delete it at
once.

thank you

Happy New Year

what can i do now?

just sit tight. i don't think anyone at Mathworks is gonna bother with this anymore. andy, you gotta watch out for notes like this: % Copyright 1993-2002 The MathWorks, Inc. % $Revision: 5.26 $ $Date: 2002/03/26 16:39:10 $ that means the code, even the text, does not belong to you. you certainly can post your own MATLAB code. r b-j

MathWorks watching like hawks, hey?  Ha.  

Usenet is strange, in that there is no central repository or
administrator for the messages.  Once posted, it goes out to many
newservers, owned by different companies, etc.  So, I don't believe it
can be easily retracted.  I have seen things like posts being
cancelled, but that is more involved.

This one time shouldn't kill them.

Yep, gotta get their ideas from somewhere!!

Not from comp.dsp, that's for sure. Check out their FILTFILT routine in the Signal Processing toolbox. Somewhere in there they claim that the length of the impulse response of an IIR filter equals max(a,b) where a and b are the number of coefficients of the nominator and denominator of the rational filter transfer function. Also, in the function PMUSIC they return the MUSIC pseudo spectrum without mentioning a word about what a pseudo spectrum is and how it differs from a signal spectrum. Having said that, the MathWorks is in good company. The book "Computer- Based Exercises for Signal Processing using Matlab 5" by McClellan et al. doesn't get that point either. In their project involving MUSIC and related methods (around page 200) they consistently talk about the MUSIC spectrum. They don't even include the modifier "pseudo", let alone explain what it means and how it is important. Check out my post http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=f56893ae.0312101559.6bc77f7%40posting.google.com&output=gplain for an attempt to correct some usual misunderstandings about these matters. There are so many shaky details in the Matlab SP toolbox (which I believe myself competent to critizise) that I'm reluctant to trust the routines in the toolboxes I don't know so much about. Rune

I think that should be numerator. Where's the dictionary when you need it? Rune

Andy, Although you cant do anything about people who read and copied it, you can retract it. It is possible (It works with Netscape) that you can simply select the message and hit the "delete" key. With Netscape, you can also use "Cancel message" in the "Edit" pull-down menu. There must be a similar way in other browsers.

That will unlikely work. Generating cancel control messages in Usenet is no secret, but it is nearly impossible to convince news servers all over the world to honor the cancel messages. Thanks to abuses, most news servers (AOL being one, Google being two among those I know) simply reject any cancel messages. Andy can still try to "delete" the message so he can tell Mathworks "I am sorry but I have done everything I can. I will not post your codes again." And one advice for Andy. Copyrights and intellectual properties are serious in the western world. Some people criticize harshly on the excessive protection regarding these concepts, but in general it is still an honored concept. When you post a message with your school computer account (I believe you are a Xian Jiao Tung University student), please pay more attention because the fame of your school could be affected by your message. -- a lurker of comp.dsp who almost got turned away on the immigration discussion in the Sacramento job thread
