Hi
What is the best way of including tikz into org for latex export (beamer
and pdf), and to have preview as well?
Thanks,
Rainer

I typically create tikz images with R tikzDevice or matplotlib. In this
case, it’s useful to refer to the generated file:
file:link/to/pix.tikz
> and to have preview as well?
I believe you’d have to include the code directly in the Org file to make
the preview of latex fragments work. If this is essential, you could do
something like this:
#+latex_header: \usepackage{tikz}
#+Caption: A special block that’s a figure with a tikz picture.
#+begin_figure
\begin{tikzpicture}
\input{t.tikz} % raw tikz-content w/o \begin{}/end{}
\end{tikzpicture}
#+end_figure
See also the tikz section on ob-latex in worg:

* ImageMagick is great for shrinking images and/or making thumbnails for
previews and/or maybe the emacs elisp program "thumbs.el" will help:

Hello Rainer,

I don't know, but I do remember that using the `standalone' document
class was useful because you can keep the tikz picture in its own .tex
file, develop it using command line processing to pdf and, when it is
ready, use it in in several different documents (report, poster, thesis)
by including the .tex file file. Not sure about previewing though.
Sorry I can't find a comprehensive example but here is an example usage
of standalone:

I have used R in the past to generate two outputs for a given graph,
one PNG and one PDF from a source block in my Org file.
Then immediately under the source block I would put a commented out
file link so that Org's inline image display would show it to me. Then
I used the latex include command beneath to include the PDF for the
final output.
This let me preview and have high quality output.
Sample code:
#+BEGIN_SRC R :session *R-Buffer* :tangle myfile.R :exports none :results none silent :var basename="playerAging"
doublePlot = function (base, plotFunc,
pngopts = c( width = 1024, height = 500 ),
pdfopts = c( width = 10, height = 7.5, paper =
'usr')
) {
# basename from org-babel
myPng = paste(base,"png",sep=".")
myPdf = paste(base,"pdf",sep=".")
png(myPng, pngopts )
plotFunc()
dev.off()
pdf(myPdf, pdfopts)
plotFunc()
dev.off()
}
doublePlot(base=basename, plotFunc = function() {
plot(players$last_save,players$age,main="Player Age vs Last Login")
grid(col="gray",lty=2)
})
#+END_SRC
# [[file:playerAging.png]]
#+LATEX: \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{playerAging.pdf}\newpage
