Export Mathematica 8 plot to TikZ

Question

Is it possible to generate a plot in Mathematica 8 and then somehow export the data so that I can plot it using TikZ? I do not like how Mathematica's plots are rendered and would like to use proper LaTeX fonts.

This is not a simple case of just plotting a simple function, i.e. I might as well just type the plot commands in TikZ; The generated expressions I want to plot are fairly horrible and long.

EDIT: Currently in Mathematica I do something like:

Plot[

RecurrenceTable[
 ...
]
 {w, 0, 10}
]

Where I am calculating the recurrence table of a coupled set of non-linear recurrence relations up to some n. Each term is a function of w. I hope this is helpful. I doubt that I want to do the calculation using TeX.

Answer 1

Well, ideally, if you use TikZ + PGFPlots, then you can basically do many things. We might elaborate if you have a particular example in mind.

Answer 2

There is always the round-about way with exporting the entire graphic as an EPS. Then, using psfrag or psfragx, you can substitute tags or labels in the rendered EPS with LaTeX text; almost like a search-and-replace.
