I have some figures with too many data points plotted, but not the actual data. I'm looking for some means to reduce the number of data points on the figure (by a factor of 10). Is there any efficient way to do it than first extracting all the data and then re-plotting?

Thanks!

Since you can "extract" all the data by a single get() (at least for a
given line), do the decimation and set() it back, that doesn't seem
particularly inefficient...

Thanks a lot. Didn't quite realize it was this easy. Actually, I didn't know about the set function earlier.
