How to plot an array in negative axes

I have initialized an array using the following code:
xdim=6;
ydim=12;
V_new=zeros(xdim+1,ydim+1);
V_new(5,4:10)=15;
V_new
Now, I want to plot this array from x=-3:9 and y=0:6.
However, I am not sure how to plot the array at the negative x-axis.

What does it mean, exactly, to "plot" a matrix? Do you mean surf()? Or does each row or each column show up as a line plot in a graph? Please clarify. Also tell us if you have ever heard of the xlim() and ylim() functions to set the plot ranges of the graph.
Say what!? You have an array that is all zeros except for seven elements in the 5th row that are a constant.
What's to plot and what possible relation is there between the array and two totally unrelated variables
x =-3:9
y = 0:6
???
Actually the complete code goes like this:
xdim=6;
ydim=12;
V=zeros(xdim+1,ydim+1);
V_new=zeros(xdim+1,ydim+1);
V_new(5,4:10)=15;
error=15;
iter=0;
while(error>0.0001)
iter=iter+1;
for i=2:1:xdim
for j=2:1:ydim
if V_new(i,j) == 15
continue
end
V_new(i,j)=(V_new(i-1,j)+V_new(i+1,j)+V_new(i,j-1)+V_new(i,j+1))/4;
end
end
error=max(max(abs(V_new-V)));
V=V_new;
end
figure('Name', 'Contours of Electric Potential');
contour(flipud(V),15,'ShowText','on')
grid on
It is used to determine the potential for a box. The plotted result are according to the array I initially defined. However, I want to plot the results from x=-3:9 and y=0:6.

Ah...ok, now I see...presuming the array is assumed to match box boundaries, just define X,Y to match the dimensions you want--
X=linspace(-3,9,size(V,2));
Y=linspace(0,5,size(V,1));
contour(X,Y,flipud(V),15,'ShowText','on')
...

Greta, it works... Thanks a lot...!!!
No problem; I just "whiffed" on the question first go... :)
