tiled layout with boxplot overlaid by scatterplot

I have a boxplot with an overlaid scatterplot, that I would now like to put into a tiled layout. The data (PSD) is grouped by condition (on the x axis for boxchart) and by the participant number (colors of the scatter plot). When I change the column of PSD, I would like it to plot it in another tile. However, when I try to put it in the tiled layout, the box chart no longer shows up. In the code I've commented out how I tried to implement the tiledlayout.

%tiledlayout('flow');
clear color

%preallocate an array of of colors with NaN
color=NaN(length(double(type)), 3);
for i=1:npeople
    [colorinx,tf]=listdlg('PromptString', append('Select the files for participant ', num2str(i)), 'SelectionMode','multiple','ListString',rownames, 'ListSize', [300 200]);
    
    %list of possible colors
    colors={'red'; 'green'; 'blue'; 'magenta'; 'yellow'; 'black'};

    %assign the colors a color code
    colorCodes = [[1 0 0]; [0 1 0]; [0 0 1]; [0 1 1]; [1 0 1]; [1 1 0]; [0 0 0]];
    coloroption=listdlg('PromptString', 'Select color for this participant', 'SelectionMode','multiple','ListString',colors, 'ListSize', [300 200]);

    %match the colors selected with their color code
    color(colorinx,:)=colorCodes(coloroption,:).*ones(size( color(colorinx,:)));
end

%for loop that changes PSD values being plotted
for i=1:5
    %make the grouping column (cond) numerical so that it can be used in scatterplot
    type = renamecats(categorical(cond), {'condition x', 'condition y'}, {'1','2'});
    
    %make a boxplot based on the conditions and all of the points
    %nexttile
    figure()
    hold on
    boxchart(type, PSD(points,i));
    ylabel('PSD (%)')
    xlabel('Condition')    
    
    %overlay the scatterplot onto the boxplot made earlier
    scatter(double(type), PSD(points,i), 25, color, 'filled', 'XJitter', 'rand', 'XJitterWidth', 0.3)
end

Currently I can get my overlaid boxchart like this (only one color shown because this is data for one person):

But I would like it to look like this in the tile layout:

What I am missing? Thanks!

The problem is that the boxchart function doesn't work well within a tiled layout. However, you can use the boxplot function instead, which works fine within a tiled layout.

tiledlayout('flow');

%preallocate an array of colors with NaN
color = NaN(length(double(type)), 3);
for i = 1:npeople
    [colorinx,tf] = listdlg('PromptString', append('Select the files for participant ', num2str(i)), 'SelectionMode','multiple','ListString',rownames, 'ListSize', [300 200]);

    %list of possible colors
    colors = {'red'; 'green'; 'blue'; 'magenta'; 'yellow'; 'black'};

    %assign the colors a color code
    colorCodes = [[1 0 0]; [0 1 0]; [0 0 1]; [0 1 1]; [1 0 1]; [1 1 0]; [0 0 0]];
    coloroption = listdlg('PromptString', 'Select color for this participant', 'SelectionMode','multiple','ListString',colors, 'ListSize', [300 200]);

    %match the colors selected with their color code
    color(colorinx,:) = colorCodes(coloroption,:).*ones(size(color(colorinx,:)));
end

for i = 1:5
    %make the grouping column (cond) numerical so that it can be used in scatterplot
    type = renamecats(categorical(cond), {'condition x', 'condition y'}, {'1','2'});

    %make a boxplot based on the conditions and all of the points
    nexttile
    hold on
    boxplot(PSD(points,i), type, 'Colors', 'k', 'Symbol', '');
    ylabel('PSD (%)')
    xlabel('Condition')    

    %overlay the scatterplot onto the boxplot made earlier
    scatter(double(type), PSD(points,i), 25, color, 'filled', 'XJitter', 'rand', 'XJitterWidth', 0.3)
end
