function writeUT(handle, matrix, imageID, roi_x, roi_y, roi_width, roi_height, label, url)
% write a single matrix of supported datatype (i.e. not int32) to the file
% handle in UT format, algorithmID 7
% inputs: file handle, single layer matrix, imageID (16 char md5 hash, can
% be empty, in which case we generated a null 16 byte string), roix, roiy,
% roiw, roih (bounding box of matrix roi), label (class label for training)
% and url (can be empty)
% 
% computed values: fvSize, urlSize (url encoded as null-terminated 8-bit
% string, urlSize includes null terminator), a null terminator will be
% added to url by this function
%
% For performance reasons, handle should be opened in 'W', i.e. buffered
% mode.
