Dear Eik, although possible in this case, tikzDevice is certainly not a general solution to all kinds of problems :-) I used it for quite some time before I gave up: I had a simple bar plot, the bars being black. This already caused errors like "TeX capacity exceeded" ... and I obtained these a lot. In fact, enlarging the TeX capacity (not trivial but possible) did not solve these issues. That's why I gave up on this package [although, clearly, the idea of full TeX support is totally appealing -- that's why I looked at the package in the first place].
