Extracting data from a given figure?

Hello everyone, i have a figure as you can see, and what i want is to get x and y coordinates but as you can see i have a data at decimal points what i want to do is to get data from this figure and insert into a 3600x1 array, lets say if i have a data at 258.45 second then i want to have it at 259th row of the matrix, and the seconds that there is no data will be zero inside the matrix, can anyone help me please?

Cladio - what is the data that you used to generate the above function? Consider using ceil to round up your seconds to the nearest integer so that you can populate your 3600x1 matrix. For example, if

 x    = [0.1   12.34  45.32 258.45 1300.2 2501.9 3598.45];
 y    = [208   231    33    233    162    25     72];
 data = zeros(3600,1);

then to populate data with x and y, you could try

 data(ceil(x)) = y;

and you will observe that data(259) is 233. The above code assumes that no two packets arrive within the same second (else one will override the other in data).

thank you so much!but i am having one error. Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals. because you know for some cases i have '0' inside the x matrix lets say [0,0,0,34.76,0....] and data does not have row 0 do you know how i can fix that? Thank you so much!!!

Do the zeros correspond to data (packet sizes) that are valid, or should they be ignored?
