I've just found out that the command
includestandalone[<options>]<file>
exists.
Which are its advantages/disadvantages with respect to the includegraphics<file> of the output image?
For example, if I have myfile.tex:
documentclassstandalone
usepackagetikz
begindocument
begintikzpicture
node[fill=red]A;
endtikzpicture
enddocument
with includestandalone I have to put in the preamble of the main file all the packages present in the standalone preamble:
documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
usepackagestandalone
begindocument
includestandalonemyfile
enddocument
whereas if I only include the output, of course, I don't need them:
documentclassarticle
usepackagegraphicx

Looking at the package code ofstandaloneit looks like it checks the modification time of the.texfile and if it is newer than that of the.pdffile then it starts a standalone job to update the.pdffile. It looks like the externalisation thing in TikZ. So I'd say that an advantage is that it updates the file if necessary. There's probably much more than that, but this is what I saw by quickly looking into the code.

As I understand it it is in effect a variation of the principles of subfiles. That is the subfiles are potentially compilable standalone OR can be included in which case they are not only physically cropped area but also tex is cropped from begindocument to enddocument thus why it needs the preambles to be included for those imported commands

This is one advantage, I do not claim it is the most important one. It goes in the same direction as the comments by Phelype and KJO, and is essentially copied from here. Consider this subfile sub.tex.

begindocument

begintikzpicture
draw[->,my style] (0,1cm)--++(4,-5);
endtikzpicture
enddocument
If you compile it, you get
However, you can also embed and modify it in a main document.
documentclassarticle
usepackagestandalone
usepackagetikz
begindocument
beginfigure[h]
tikzsetmy style/.style=line width=15pt
includestandalone[mode=tex]sub
captionVersion 1.
endfigure
beginfigure[h]
tikzsetmy style/.style=red, line width=7pt
includestandalone[mode=tex]subcaptionVersion 2.
endfigure
enddocument
As you can see, you can manipulate it from outside which you can't if you use includegraphics.
