Live Editor and view neural network

 function newView(net)

 jframe = view(net);

 %# create it in a MATLAB figure
 hFig = figure('Menubar','none', 'Position',[100 100 565 166]);
 jpanel = get(jframe,'ContentPane');
 [~,h] = javacomponent(jpanel);
 set(h, 'units','normalized', 'position',[0 0 1 1])

 %# close java window
 jframe.setVisible(false);
 jframe.dispose();

I found this solution here. With this, you can have your network as a figure, and it will appear in the livescript. The only remaining issue is that the undocked figure window doesn't close once it has been plotted in the livescript, which is peculiar.
