Hi Adam,
The issue you are encountering is because figure created using the ‘tiledlayout’ gets overwritten when you plot using ‘gplotmatrix’. You can verify this by printing the children of the current figure before and after ‘gplotmatrix’ function is used.
disp(gcf().Children) % prints 'TiledChartLayout'
gplotmatrix(MyDataTable{:, 1:5}, [], MyDataTable.("Class Type"), [],[], [], true, 'stairs', VarNames)
disp(gcf().Children) % prints '32 * 1 graphics array'
If your objective is to show the legend outside the plots of ‘gplotmatrix’, you can directly modify the position property of the legend, like outlined in the below code:
%... existing code to create MyDataTable
MyDataTable = [MyDataTable, catTable];
fig = figure;
gp = gplotmatrix(MyDataTable{:, 1:5}, [], MyDataTable.("Class Type"), [],[], [], true, 'stairs', VarNames);
% Find the legend handle
legHandle = findobj(fig, 'Type', 'Legend');
% Move the legend outside the plot
if ~isempty(legHandle)
legHandle.Position = [0.5,0.95, 0.035, 0.025];
end
Above code will place the legend above plots created by ‘gplotmatrix’ as shown below:
Refer to the MathWorks documentations for more information on the following topics:

Hope this helps!
