Extracing data from an existing plot

I have some plots in an old Mathematica notebook that I'd like to re-create in Matplotlib (for stylistic consistency with the rest of the plots in my thesis).

Unfortunately, I've lost the data that I used to generate these plots. Since the plots are still intact, is it possible to extract the coordinates of the data points from them? I know that I can use "Get Coordinates" from the context menu on the plot, but this is tedious and imprecise!
