Hello everyone,

I have a single line of code, quite simple, thanks to which I get (visually) exactly what I need:

h=figure; [pippo1, pippo2]=contourf(AZ,EL,FF, [0, 0]);

where the input arguments have size 301×301. The plot I get is like this:

As you can see, the outside of the contour is not only the big cyan area, but also some small areas in the white (not filled) polygon. I need the coordinates of the outside polygon (the whole cyan region) but I couldn’t extract them from either "h" or "pippo2". Please note, I DON’T NEED the coordinates of the single contours, because if I extract XDATA and YDATA they lose the information about "the inside" and the "outside". I need to extract, in some way, a single contour that represents the whole cyan area, and another one that represents the complementary (white) one.

Thanks a lot!Hello everyone,
