Applied, thanks.

The best way I've found to deal with scaling/placement of raw or inline
tikz is to use the subcaption and adjustbox packages as in the following
example.

    % latex
    \begin{figure}
      \centering
      \begin{minipage}[b]{0.32\linewidth}
        \adjustbox{width=1.0\linewidth}{
          \begin{tikzpicture}
            % ...
          \end{tikzpicture}
        }
        \subcaption{\small part 1}
      \end{minipage}
      \begin{minipage}[b]{0.32\linewidth}
        \adjustbox{width=1.0\linewidth}{
          \begin{tikzpicture}
            % ...
          \end{tikzpicture}
        }
        \subcaption{\small part 2}
      \end{minipage}
      \begin{minipage}[b]{0.32\linewidth}
        \adjustbox{width=1.0\linewidth}{
          \begin{tikzpicture}
            % ...
          \end{tikzpicture}
        }
        \subcaption{\small part 3}
      \end{minipage}
      \caption{Example with three sub-parts}
      \label{fig:example}
    \end{figure}
