How to adjust float options of Tikz picture

Question

I am trying to include several Tikz figures drawn in R, below eachother in a Latex file. It keeps including the figures at the top of new pages.

Is there an easy way to make this work? The simple include command does not allow the float argument[H] which I use for other figures:

\input{C:/Users/Desktop/Res/Pictures/pic1.tex} \\
\input{C:/Users/Desktop/Res/Pictures/pic2.tex}

The following does not work:

\input[H]{C:/Users/Desktop/Res/Pictures/pic1.tex}

In R, the Tikz file was created using:

tikz("C:/Users/Desktop/Res/Pictures/pic1.tex",width=5,height=4)
...
dev.off

Answer 1

Compile your original Tikz pictures using the standalone document class.

Then in your main file, add \usepackage{standalone} and then write \input{<tikzpicture name>.tex}; assuming they are located in the same folder, you won't need a path.

If you want it to appear where you have included it, then enclose it in a figure environment like:

\begin{figure}[h]
    \centering
\input{<tikzpicture name>.tex}
\end{figure}
