Thank you so much Jack,
I'm using PDF to insert graphs in LaTeX. Which is the advantage of TikZ?
Up to a point, it's a matter of taste: TikZ builds on pgf, which makes
your figure more "TeX-ish" and it integrates better with the rest from a
visual point of view: for example, it uses the same font as the rest of
your document for labels and so on. Moreover, it's relatively easy to
perform marginal adjustments, such as aligning elements _perfectly_ (since
you position them numerically/programmatically, rather than by using a
mouse) if you have to. Finally, you can add anything you want to your
picture, including labels and formulae, so if you want to put something
like $\pi = \int_a^b f(x) \mathrm{d} x$, or "see eq. \ref{moo}", it's very
easy to do so.
