Deleting data from a graphics

Hi all,
I have two variables,x and y.
There are 100 data in these variables,plotting graphics with plot function
After manually deleting some data in the chart, the number of data automatically decreases to 100 in x and y.
How can I save the current data back to the workspace section after deleting it?
Thank you

I am not aware you can delete points that way, but the XData and YData properties of the line object (which is returned by the plot function) should contain your data.
select data from the graph and press del to manually delete

x = rand(10,1) ; y = rand(10,1) ;
figure
hold on
for i = 1:10
h = plot(x(i),y(i),'.r') ;
end
title('delete some poits and press any key')
pause
%% Get data
a = get(gca,'Children');
xdata = get(a, 'XData');
ydata = get(a, 'YData');
zdata = get(a, 'ZData');
xdata = cell2mat(xdata) ;
ydata = cell2mat(ydata) ;
plot(xdata,ydata,'Ob')
