I'm wondering what is causing the following image to be so horribly off centred and how I might fix this issue (Note the massive space in the top left corner). Currently I am just post processing the .pdf. Code and resulting image are attached below
By adding a \frame around the tikzpicture, you'll get a tight frame around the image that will show you what is really happening and where is the additional space; adding a little border to the standalone also helps:
Today I discovered the existence of this wonderful package called "standalone". I really love it because I have a lot of pictures in Tikz code and some of them have a very long code and it's very difficult to handle and annoying when I'm trying to concentrate on the text rather than on pictures. So here is my problem, I have some small pictures that I want to align in the same row (sometimes 2, 3 or 4 of them in the same row). Let's suppose that I have these stand alone pictures:
Also I wanted that my pictures have a general description below them. My first try was by using "figure" environment (\beginfigure.../endfigure) but the pictures are put in a different position rather than just after a given line of text, I don't want that the picture appears anywhere else like at the top of the page or something. Thank you so much for your help and so sorry if my question is so naive but I'm just starting to learn these things.
I want to create a TikZ picture in an external PDF file, which then can be included in my main document via \includegraphics.However, compiling a document with a TikZ picture in it produces a whole page, meaning lots of white space.
What I want to do can be done using the preview package as described in Standalone diagrams with TikZ?, on SO. But there are some problems with the preview package and XeTex (see Transparency in tikz, preview package and xelatex).
You can use the standalone class for this. In v0.x it used preview internally, but for v1.x it also has an alternative crop option, which works similar to the preview option/package, but avoids its issues with XeTeX.
There is now (v1.0) also a tikz class option which turns any (outer) tikzpicture into a single tight page. This avoids issues with trailing implicit paragraphs. In addition it automatically loads the tikz package.
To include this tikzpicture into a main document load the standalone package there with the option mode=buildnew. Then use \includestandalone[] instead of \includegraphics. This will compile all includes standalone files automatically as graphics and build these graphics if the source file is newer than the existing graphics file. This needs -shell-escape to be enabled to allow the main LaTeX run to call further LaTeX compilers.See the standalone manual for more details.
So, you make the picture in a separate file with article class, for instance. Then you use clipbox from the adjustbox package to clip the image included via \includegraphics to the part you actually want...
Jane Bown captured the Amalfi Grocer when on holiday in Italy. It was published on page 8 of the Observer on 29 August 1954, and is a classic example of a standalone photograph, published during the heyday of the genre

A class and package is provided which allows TeX pictures or other TeX code to be compiled standalone or as part of a main document. Special support for pictures with beamer overlays is also provided.
The package is used in the main document and skips extra preambles in sub-files. The class may be used to simplify the preamble in sub-files. By default the preview package is used to display the typeset code without margins.
