Hi Eric
Thanks for your comments.
I will look into both of them.
Cheers,

Following up on my own message, one thing to consider is that
generating the figure in latex creates a PDF that takes up the whole
page but the figure is only a small part of this page. In latex, if I
wanted the PDF to include only the tikz figure, I would do the
following:
\documentclass{article}
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[...]
\usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview}
\setlength\PreviewBorder{5pt}%
\begin{document}
% Define block styles
\begin{preview}
[... the tikz commands ...]
\end{preview}
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---It may be worthwhile providing this type of option to babel-latex?
