How to align the top of the figure produced by tikz with the top of a text positioned next to it. Both the figure and the text are encapsulated by a minipage each. I just got an approximate but totally manual effect using vspace at the end of theminipage that contains the figure.



Align top of the text and figure



documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz, lipsum
begindocument
beginminipage1textwidth
fbox
beginminipage0.8textwidth
%hspace.002in
%noindent

draw [help lines] (0,0) grid (8,17);
endtikzpicture

          You can use a combination of adjustbox with the valign option and the TikZ baseline option. Also I think you're using too many minipages. I have stripped some of them off.
