Hi,
I want to find a coordinate which has minimum distance to other coordinates,
For example;
I want to find a coordinate (a,b) which has minimum distance to coordinates given below
x y
1 2
1 4
3 2
4 2

The minimum distance of a set of points is the Centroid (link), defined as the mean of the coordinates of the points:
xy = [1 2
1 4
3 2
4 2];
minDist = mean(xy);
figure
plot(xy(:,1), xy(:,2), 'pg')
hold on
plot(minDist(1), minDist(2), 'rp')
hold off
grid
axis equal
Experiment toi get the result you want.
