Plotting a 2D plot from the image

Hello there, I need help regarding how to extract the 2d data and plot it from a image. The data file was excel worksheet and was plotted using matlab. Now suppose if I intend to plot a 2 dimensional line plot for example Distance vs intensity along the line shown, how do I do that. Please not that I am not looking for slice, I am just looking for a line plot to check the intensity fluctuation with distance.

Thank you

Do you have the original data, or the .fig file? Or is this image the only thing you have? If you have the data (or have the fig file), you can easily generate the profile. If all you have is this image, your options are severely limited, especially since jpg does not have lossless compression.

I have the original file. Its an excel worksheet. See the comment below

Load your workbook data into a 2-D array. Then you can use improfile() to get the intensity profile along any poly-line you want.

I used the following code. I am unable to attach the file as its a.xlxs extension not supported by this portal

 data=xlsread('file name .xlsx'); 
data_pos=-data;
pixmax=20;
x=pixmax/85:pixmax/85:pixmax;
y=x;
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y);
figure
s = surf(X,Y,data_pos);
s.EdgeColor = 'none'; 
daspect([1 1 0.01])
xlabel('Distance \mum', 'FontSize',20)
ylabel('Distance \mum','FontSize',20)
set(gca, 'FontSize', 20)
xticks([0 5 10 15 20 25 30])
hcb=colorbar;
title(hcb,'Intensity')
