beamerhorizontal alignmenttikz-pgf
I'm currently struggling with aligning a tikzpicture, within a figure environment, at the left of a column. It seems like the figure is always align centre, or right
Using beamer, for a presentation.
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
\begin{figure}
\input{pics/tikzpicture.tex}
\end{figure}
\end{column}
You can use \onslide:
\PassOptionsToPackage{demo}{graphicx}
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Prva probna valna funkcija}
Varijacionu metodu započinjemo sljedećom probnom valnom funkcijom\pause
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item\onslide<1->{\begin{equation*}
\varphi_1(x)=\left(\frac{b}{\sqrt{\pi}}\right)^{1/2}e^{-\frac{b^2}{2}x^2}
\end{equation*}}
\item\onslide<4>{Očekivana vrijednost energije\pause
\begin{equation*}
E(b)=\langle\varphi_1|\hat{H}|\varphi_1\rangle,
\end{equation*}}
\end{itemize}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
\onslide<2->{\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{valfun1.eps}}}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
I used the line \PassOptionsToPackage{demo}{graphicx} to make my example compilable for everyone; don't include that line in your actual code.
You can made use of the columns environment to divide the frame into two columns and then place the align environment on the left column. Then it is just matter of defining the width of the columns to define how much equations are placed on the left.
For example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usetheme{EastLansing}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Title}
Centered alignment:
\begin{align*}
&x+y=100\\
&z-x=10
\end{align*}
\begin{columns}[T]
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
Left aligned equations:
\begin{align*}
&x+y=100\\
&z-x=10
\end{align*}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\vfill
\begin{columns}[T]
\begin{column}{0.35\textwidth}
Moreover:
\begin{align*}
&x+y=100\\
&z-x=10
\end{align*}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.65\textwidth}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

The figure environment appears to be serving no purpose in your example, so you could simply delete it, however you can use
\flushleftto override the default centering in figure if you need to.
