Import tex graphics to my main tex document

Question

I want to create various plots with tikz package. I don't want to have the code for the plots in my main tex document because it's pretty messy. Is there a way to keep the tex code to different documents and just import the generated plots?

Check out the include and input commands in order to use code from another .tex file in your main document. When should I use \input vs. \include? is useful for choosing which one is best suited for your task.
