How to translate figure so that point1 [0 -1]' is located at the origin?

I began by plotting the original figure with the following code:

% Define coordinates of original graph

point1 = [0 -1]';

point2 = [1 1]';

point3 = [3 2]';

point4 = [3 0]';

point5 = [2 -1]';

point6 = [0 -1]';

points = [point1 point2 point3 point4 point5 point6];

plot_points = @(list_of_points) plot(list_of_points(1,:), list_of_points(2,:), '-o');

% Plot characteristics

plot(points(1,:), points(2,:), 'b')

axis([-1 3.5 -1 2]) % axis min and max

grid on

xlabel('x-axis')

ylabel('y-axis')

What can be done to translate figure so that point1 is located at the origin?

I am not certain what result you want.

One option is to add this line after the plot call:

axis(reshape([point1, point3]', 1, 4))

In context:

% Plot characteristics 
plot(points(1,:), points(2,:), 'b')
axis([-1 3.5 -1 2]) % axis min and max 
grid on
xlabel('x-axis')
ylabel('y-axis')
title('2D Cad Figure')
axis(reshape([point1, point3]', 1, 4))

Thanks for the reply, that is how the graph should look, but how would you plot both graphs on the same plot? The original plot, and the reshaped plot?

As always, my pleasure.

The plot is not reshaped. Probably a better way to define the axis limits is:

axis([min(points(1,:)) max(points(1,:))    min(points(2,:)) max(points(2,:))])

This produces the same plot, as does:

axis('tight')
