Where does output data go?

Good Afternoon, I was wondering if its possible to obtain a text file of given data made by a program. Say for instance I make a surface and just want the points created by that surface in a text or some kind of output file. Is it possible to obtain this or is it purely virtual? Thanks, Mel

You can get the XData, YData and ZData from a plotted surface:
figure;
sphere;
C = get(gca, 'Children');
XData = get(C, 'XData');
YData = get(C, 'YData');
ZData = get(C, 'ZData');
And finally these values can be saved also.

I thought about that solution but you lose other important properties of the plot.

Maybe saving the figure with hgsave is what you want
hgsave(gcf,'myfig')
Load it later with hgload
