Open .fig file and delete some of the plot entries-Matlab

Question

I have the following image stored as f7.fig. I want to open it again and delete all the other entries except the first (red), second (blue) and last(cyan). I want also to delete them from the legend. Is this possible?

Answer 1

An easy interactive approach would be like this:

savefig(h, 'somefig.fig`); % Save figure
% Close the figure ...
openfig('somefig.fig'); % Open figure
% Click on the curves you wanted to delete ....
delete(gco); % delete object -> this takes care of the legend too
% Click on the curves you wanted to delete ....
delete(gco); 
% so on...

This approach here is also an alternative.
