This little utility can be used to extract x and y data series from
a MATLAB generated figure. The data are saved to a Microsoft Excel file. Curves in the figure may have different x ranges. This utility can be easily expanded to extract x, y, and z data series from a 3-D figure.

MATLAB R14 or higher is needed. This utility is compiler ready.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.1.0 (R14SP3)

Great tool, really!

This is a truly great tool that got me out of a data jam! The only thing I noticed is that it's limited by the number of rows in excel, which becomes an issue for high data rates. Maybe have a *.csv option?

Great tool. It seems that works very well except for some errors in my case.

Really, good tool!
Is it easy to extend this, in order to extract data from a 3D figure?
