Reusing tikz graphcis

[mathman]

Hello,

I use iteration schemes similar to the one below from fauskes.net. There are several of sets of similar code in a single doucment so it would be nice to "save" the generated graphic for future use since typesetting these drawings takes considerable time. Is there a way to do this? Thanks...Tom

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.fractals}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.footprints}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[decoration=Koch snowflake]
    \draw decorate{ decorate{ decorate{ decorate{ (0,0) -- (3,0) }}}};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Did you have a look at the externalization library(ies)?

Have fun,
