Normalizing 3D coordinates: start in 0,0

I've got a long list of x,y,z-coordinates and I want the first one to be 0,0,0. The other coordinates should translate in a way that my plot of the coordinates remains the same. How can I make this happen?

If your data is the matrix A then

A(1,:) = 0;

[Walter Roberson]

A(:, 2:end) = A(:, 2:end) - A(1,1:end) ;

This version of the code requires R2016b or later
