Thank you so much Jack, 

I'm using PDF to insert graphs in LaTeX. Which is the advantage of TikZ?

Of course we all know that we can use gretl for producing pretty graphs.
Then, you can save them in some format (eg pdf) and include them in your documents: slides, article, PhD thesis, whatever. We all do that.

However, if you need to customise them, the choice of the TikZ format may be especially convenient for LaTeX users, since a TikZ file is essentially a (relatively little) text file in which you can insert graphical elements, text, TeX maths and so on.

Since turning a gretl graph into a TikZ file is quite easy (thanks to gnuplot), I wrote a little "how-to" on the gretl wiki.

I hope this is useful.
