How to center data on the max value

How to center 2D matrix (NxM) on the pixel with max value and fill rest with zeros?
The end result should be (NxM) with centered max.
x = -2:0.5:2;
y = 1:0.2:2;
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);
Z = peaks(X,Y)
[row, col] = find(ismember(Z, max(Z(:))));
N = length(x);
M= length(y);
row = row(1);
col = col(1);
if row > N/2 && col > M/2
Z(1:(N/2-row),:) = [];
Z = [Z; zeros((N/2-row),M)];
Z(1:(M/2-row),:) = [];
Z = [Z; zeros((M/2-row),N)];
elseif row < N/2 && col < M/2
Z(:,end-(N/2-col):end) = [];
Z = [zeros(M,(N/2-col)) Z];
Z(:,end-(M/2-col):end) = [];
Z = [zeros(N,(M/2-col+1)) Z];
elseif row > N/2 && col < M/2
Z(1:(N/2-row),:) = [];
Z = [Z; zeros((N/2-row),M)];
Z(:,end-(M/2-col):end) = [];
Z = [zeros(N,(M/2-col+1)) Z];
elseif row < N/2 && col > M/2
Z(:,end-(N/2-col):end) = [];
Z = [zeros(M,(N/2-col)) Z];
Z(1:(M/2-row),:) = [];
Z = [Z; zeros((M/2-row),N)];
else
Z = Z;
end

Without the Image Processing toolbox? With the toolbox, you can simply use imtranslate().

Thank you. With the toolbox is ok. Is there an easy way to fill with zeros the missing data ?
imtranslate does that by default. Example:
A=rand(100);
B=imtranslate(A,[30,40]);
montage({A,B},'Back','w','Bord',[2,10])
Thank you!
