MATLAB: Imfreehand

image processing

Hi, how can i save the image that i have been modified using imfreehand when i want used getappdata? that is mam code:
figure, imshow('pout.tif'); h = imfreehand; position = wait(h);
value = getappdata(h,'obraz')

See if my imfreehand demo helps you:
% Demo to have the user freehand draw an irregular shape over
% a gray scale image, have it extract only that part to a new image,
% and to calculate the mean intensity value of the image within that shape.
