Tiled layout with a nested graph spanning multiple tiles

I would like to nest/superimpose a plot on another, which is part of a tiledlayout and spans multiple tiles. The following works fine:

figure
tiledlayout(1, 6)

nexttile([1 5])
plot(1:10)

nexttile(6)
plot(11:20)

However, the following does not and it results in two figures:

figure
tiledlayout(1, 6)

nexttile([1 5])
plot(1:10)

axes("position", [0.5 0.5 0.2 0.2])
plot(21:30)

nexttile(6)

plot(11:20)

Perhaps it's your 'order of operations'. What if you add the floating axes last?

figure
tiledlayout(1, 6)

nexttile([1 5])
plot(1:10)

nexttile(6)
plot(11:20)

axes("position", [0.5 0.5 0.2 0.2])
plot(21:30)

Pro tip 😎 nexttile('east')

figure
tiledlayout(1, 1)

nexttile()
plot(1:10)

nexttile('east')
plot(11:20)

axes("position", [0.5 0.5 0.2 0.2])
plot(21:30)

Great, thanks! I like the simplification with "east" too.
