Move object in a direction described by a vector

Example

A=[0 1 2 3; 4 5 6 7; 8 9 10 11]

vector=[-1,-1]

I wish I could get the answer B=[ 0 0 0 0; 1 2 3 0; 5 6 7 0]

Thank you!

This is awkward, but I think it works:

% Your inputs
A = [0 1  2  3;
     4 5  6  7;
     8 9 10 11]

vector = [-1,-1]

% The algorithm:
vector(2) = -vector(2); % Because you defined the y-direction opposite to the MATLAB convention

[m,n] = size(A);

frame = zeros([m n]+abs(vector));

offset = max([0 0],-vector);

frame(offset(1)+(1:m),offset(2)+(1:n)) = A;

grab = max([0 0],vector);

B = frame(grab(1)+(1:m),grab(2)+(1:n))
