How to extract x and y data from fitted curve of a histogram?

I have a set of data represented in histogram. I also add a curve fitting onto the histogram of the kind histfit(data,nbins,dist). My goal is to extract the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) values of the fitted curve. I can do that by first saving the picture in .fig format and use 'openfig' command to call it again and use 'get', but I don't want to do that. I want to directly extract the x and y data from one matlab file. How do I do that?

h = histfit(...) returns a vector of handles h, where h(1) is the handle to the histogram and h(2) is the handle to the density curve.

[Chad Greene]

...you could get the x and y data from those handles as x = get(h(2),'xdata') and so on.

Perfectly what I want. Thanks a lot Chad.
