Matlab help please (generating a plot from this data)

[binbagsss]

Hi

I have saved data in pdf format, and I wish to generate a plot from this data.

The data is iterations of optimising some function.

I can't just copy and paste it into the live window obviously and then try to generate a figure, so how can I generate a figure, just as I would have done had this data been freshly generated in the live window by using the relevant commands directly underneath it.

Many thanks

Paste the data into a text file, or into Excel then save as CSV or text, then load from the text file?

Paste the data into a text file, or into Excel then save as CSV or text, then load from the text file?

and then if i past the code i previusly was, under the originally gerneated data, it will genreate the plots?
Could I paste this from the text file in the live window, or would i need to call upon this file?
