Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ file locations

[jhapk]

Hi,

I have a number of folders in which my figures are located. For e.g.
./chapter_1/figures/
./chapter_2/figures/
...
./chapter_n/figures/
To deal with this, in my preamble I declare

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphicx}                 
\graphicspath{{chapter_1/figures/} 
{chapter_2/figures/}{chapter_3/figures/}chapter_4/figures/}
{chapter_5/figures/}} 

And then every time I need to insert a picture, all I do it

Code: Select all

\includegraphics[filename.eps]

and I don't have to give the exact location.
Can I do something with my tikz images? I have some files (say tikzfile.tex) which have script for tikz diagrams which begin and end with

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}
CODE for figure
\end{tikzpicture}

so to insert the tikz image in my main tex file, I do something like

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\input{chapter_1/latex_figures/tikzfile.tex} 
\end{figure}

How can I avoid typing this chapter_1/latex_figure again and again? Is there any more smarter way of including tikz images?

Thanks
