MATLAB: Use kernel fitted to a histogram using histfit

Question

Hi,

I am using histfit to get a kernel density function of my histogram. I am insterested in getting the maximum of this curve (or whatever value). Is there a way to get the vector (or the kernel) that Matlab plots (usingin e.g. the handle h=histfit)? I know I can do the same job with hist and ksdensity but it is a pain…

Thanks,

Gaelle

Answer 1

I just found how to get the data plotted from a handle:

hplot=plot(...); 
y=get(hplot,'YData');

That is all I needed !
