Look at contourc
Given the above
contourc(x,[5,5])
will return a 2-row array the first six columns of which will be
5 5 4 3 2 1
5 1 2 3 4 5
where the first column is the contour level requested (5) while the
remainder in the first row is the column the contour passes thru (x)
while the second is the row (y) of the (x,y) point pairs. You can use
these pairs as the intersection points of your selection process.
If the data aren't even so the values aren't integers, you can either
fix() or round() depending on which way you want the truncation to happen...
doc contourc % takes some perusing to grasp but think it's what u asked
