Tell me how wrong I am for using TikZ. I bloody love stuff like TikZ in LaTeX or PIL in Python for making 2D stuff. GUIs hurt my feelings. 
SVG with transparent background? Maybe? Never tried it. PDF with white background isn't appropriate for web that's for sure.

Didn't meant to capitalise that. My phone wants to shout apparently.

I'm happy with SVG for web, but it's not great for paper figures. TikZ looks good for that. Hope it integrates with RMarkdown->LaTeX
-
Yeah, tikz is latex so doesn't natively write to SVG. Hence why I raised the issue and recommended PIL instead.
-
I think tikz might not be for you. Does R offer a library based on cairo?

More here in why tikz is likely not suitable for what you mentioned https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/51757/how-can-i-use-tikz-to-make-standalone-svg-graphics …

I definitely don't want TikZ to make SVGs (I direct code for that :-) I want it to make paper figures so I don't have to code them in SVG.
-
Ah, total misunderstanding! I thought you wanted it for the Web!

I was pre coffee! That explains a lot.
