\subsection{Introduction}

The circuit libraries can be used to draw different kinds of
electrical or logical circuits. There is not a single library for
this, but a whole hierarchy of libraries that work in concert. The
main design goal was to create a balance between ease-of-use and
ease-of-extending, while creating high-quality graphical
representations of circuits.

\subsubsection{A First Example}

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC,x=3cm,y=2cm,semithick,
                    every info/.style={font=\footnotesize},
                    small circuit symbols,
                    set resistor graphic=var resistor IEC graphic,
                    set diode graphic=var diode IEC graphic,
                    set make contact graphic= var make contact IEC graphic]
  % Let us start with some contacts:
  \foreach \contact/\y in {1/1,2/2,3/3.5,4/4.5,5/5.5}
  {
    \node [contact] (left contact \contact) at (0,\y) {};
    \node [contact] (right contact \contact) at (1,\y) {};
  }
  \draw (right contact 1) -- (right contact 2) -- (right contact 3)
     -- (right contact 4) -- (right contact 5);

  \draw (left contact 1) to [diode] ++(down:1)
                         to [voltage source={near start,
                                             direction info={volt=3}},
                             resistor={near end,ohm=3}] ++(right:1)
                         to (right contact 1);
  \draw (left contact 1) to [resistor={ohm=4}] (right contact 1);
  \draw (left contact 1) to [resistor={ohm=3}] (left contact 2);
  \draw (left contact 2) to [voltage source={near start,
                                             direction info={<-,volt=8}},
                             resistor={ohm=2,near end}] (right contact 2);
  \draw (left contact 2) to [resistor={near start,ohm=1},
                             make contact={near end,info'={[red]$S_1$}}]
                         (left contact 3);
  \draw (left contact 3) to [current direction'={near start,info=$\iota$},
                             resistor={near end,info={$R=4\Omega$}}]
                         (right contact 3);
  \draw (left contact 4) to [voltage source={near start,
                                             direction info={<-,volt=8}},
                             resistor={ohm=2,near end}] (right contact 4);
  \draw (left contact 3) to [resistor={ohm=1}] (left contact 4);
  \draw (left contact 4) to [resistor={ohm=3}] (left contact 5);
  \draw (left contact 5) to [resistor={ohm=4}] (right contact 5);
  \draw (left contact 5) to [diode] ++(up:1)
                         to [voltage source={near start,
                                             direction info={volt=3}},
                             resistor={near end,ohm=3}] ++(right:1)
                         to (right contact 5);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

An important feature of the circuit library is that the appearance of
a circuit can be configured in general ways and that the labels are
placed automatically by default. Here is the graphic once more,
generated from \emph{exactly the same source code}, with only
the options of the |{tikzpicture}| environment replaced by
|[rotate=-90,circuit ee IEC,x=3.25cm,y=2.25cm]|:

\begin{tikzpicture}[rotate=-90,circuit ee IEC,x=3cm,y=2.25cm]
  % Let us start with some contacts:
  \foreach \contact/\y in {1/1,2/2,3/3.5,4/4.5,5/5.5}
  {
    \node [contact] (left contact \contact) at (0,\y) {};
    \node [contact] (right contact \contact) at (1,\y) {};
  }
  \draw (right contact 1) -- (right contact 2) -- (right contact 3)
     -- (right contact 4) -- (right contact 5);

  \draw (left contact 1) to [diode] ++(down:1)
                      to [voltage source={near start,direction info={volt=3}},
                          resistor={near end,ohm=3}] ++(right:1)

  \draw (left contact 1) to [resistor={ohm=4}] (right contact 1);
  \draw (left contact 1) to [resistor={ohm=3}] (left contact 2);
  \draw (left contact 2) to [voltage source={near start,
                                          direction info={<-,volt=8}},
                          resistor={ohm=2,near end}] (right contact 2);
  \draw (left contact 2) to [resistor={near start,ohm=1},
                          make contact={near end,info'={[red]$S_1$}}] (left contact 3);
  \draw (left contact 3) to [current direction'={near start,info=$\iota$},

                      to (right contact 5);
\end{tikzpicture}


\subsubsection{Symbols}

A circuit typically consists of numerous electronic elements like
logical gates or resistors or diodes that are connected by wires. In
\pgfname/\tikzname, we use nodes for the
electronic elements and normal lines for the wires. \tikzname\ offers
a large number of different ways of positioning and connecting nodes
in general, all of which can be used here. Additionally, the
|circuits| library defines an additional useful |to|-path that is
particularly useful for elements like a resistor on a line.

There are many different names that are used to refer to electrical
``elements,'' so a bit of terminology standardization is useful: We
will call such elements \emph{symbols}. A \emph{symbol shape} is a
\pgfname\ shape declared using the |\pgfdeclareshape| command. A
\emph{symbol node} is a node whose shape is a symbol shape.


\subsubsection{Symbol Graphics}

Symbols can be created by
|\node[shape=some symbol shape]|. However, in order to represent some
symbols correctly, just using standard \pgfname\ shapes is not
sufficient. For instance, most symbols have a visually appealing
``default size,'' but the size of a symbol shape depends only on the
current values of parameters like |minimum height| or |inner xsep|.

For these reasons, the circuit libraries introduce the concept of a
\emph{symbol graphic}. This is a style that causes a |\node| to
not only have the correct shape, but also the correct size and the
correct path usage. More generally, this style may set up things in any
way so that the ``symbol looks correct''. When you write, for
instance, |\node[diode]|, then the style called |diode graphic| is
used, which in turn is set to something like
|shape=diode IEC,draw,minimum height=...|.

Here is an overview of the different kinds of circuit libraries:

\begin{itemize}
\item The \tikzname-library |circuits| defines general keys for
  creating circuits. Mostly, these keys are useful for defining more
  specialized libraries.

  You normally do not use this library directly since it does not
  define any symbol graphics.
\item The \tikzname-library |circuits.logic| defines keys for creating
  logical gates like and-gates or xor-gates. However, this library
  also does not actually define any symbol graphics; this is done by
  two sublibraries:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item The library |circuits.logic.US| defines symbol graphics that
    cause the logical gates to be rendered in the ``US-style.'' It
    includes all of the above libraries and you can use this library
    directly.
  \item The library |circuits.logic.IEC| also defines symbol graphics
    for logical gates, but it uses rectangular gates rather that the
    round US-gates. This library can coexist peacefully with the above
    library, you can change which symbol graphics are used ``on the
    fly.''
  \end{itemize}
\item The \tikzname-library |cirucits.ee| defines keys for symbols
  from electrical engineering like resistors or capacitors. Again,
  sublibraries define the actual symbol graphics.
  \begin{itemize}
  \item The library |circuits.ee.IEC| defines symbol shapes that
    follow the IEC norm.
  \end{itemize}
\item The \pgfname-libraries |shapes.gates.*| define (circuit) symbol
  shapes. However, you normally do not use these shapes directly,
  rather you use a style that uses an appropriate symbol graphic,
  which in turn uses one of these shapes.
\end{itemize}

Let us have a look at a simple example. Suppose we wish to create a
logical circuit. Then we first have to decide which symbol graphics we
would like to use. Suppose we wish to use the US-style, then we would
include the library |circuits.logic.US|. If you wish to use IEC-style
symbols, use |circuits.logic.IEC|. If you cannot decide, include both:
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
\usetikzlibrary{circuits.logic.US,circuits.logic.IEC}
\end{codeexample}
To create a picture that contains a US-style circuit you can now use
the option |circuit logic US|. This will set up keys like |and gate| to
create use an appropriate symbol graphic for rendering an |and gate|. Using the |circuit logic IEC| instead will set up |and gate| to
use another symbol graphic.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit logic US]
  \matrix[column sep=7mm]
  {
    \node (i0) {0}; &                            & \\
                    & \node [and gate] (a1) {};  & \\
    \node (i1) {0}; &                            & \node [or gate] (o) {};\\
                    & \node [nand gate] (a2) {}; & \\
    \node (i2) {1}; &                            & \\
  };
  \draw (i0.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a1.input 1);
  \draw (i1.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a1.input 2);
  \draw (i1.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a2.input 1);
  \draw (i2.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a2.input 2);
  \draw (a1.output) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (o.input 1);
  \draw (a2.output) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (o.input 2);
  \draw (o.output) -- ++(right:3mm);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}


\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit logic IEC]
  \matrix[column sep=7mm]
  {
    \node (i0) {0}; &                            & \\
                    & \node [and gate] (a1) {};  & \\
    \node (i1) {0}; &                            & \node [or gate] (o) {};\\
                    & \node [nand gate] (a2) {}; & \\
    \node (i2) {1}; &                            & \\
  };
  \draw (i0.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a1.input 1);
  \draw (i1.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a1.input 2);
  \draw (i1.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a2.input 1);
  \draw (i2.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a2.input 2);
  \draw (a1.output) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (o.input 1);
  \draw (a2.output) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (o.input 2);
  \draw (o.output) -- ++(right:3mm);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}



\subsubsection{Annotations}

An \emph{annotation} is a little extra drawing that can be added to a
symbol. For instance, when you add two little parallel arrows pointing
away from some electrical element, this usually means that the element
is light emitting.

Instead of having one symbol for ``diode'' and another for ``light
emitting diode,'' there is just one |diode| symbol, but you can add
the |light emitting| annotation to it. This is done by passing the
annotation as a parameter to the symbol as in the following example:

\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC]
  \draw (0,0) to [diode={light emitting}] (3,0)
              to [resistor={adjustable}]  (3,2);
\end{codeexample}



\subsection{The Base Circuit Library}

\begin{tikzlibrary}{circuits}
  This library is a base library that is included by other circuit
  libraries. You do not include it directly, but you will typically
  use some of the general keys, described below.
\end{tikzlibrary}

\begin{key}{/tikz/circuits}
  This key should be passed as an option to a picture or a scope that
  contains a circuit. It will do some internal setups. This key is
  normally called by more specialized keys like |circuit ee IEC|.
\end{key}




\subsubsection{Symbol Size}

\begin{key}{/tikz/circuit symbol unit=\meta{dimension} (initially 7pt)}
  This dimension is a ``unit'' for the size of symbols. The libraries
  generally define the sizes of symbols relative to this
  dimension. For instance, the longer side of an inductor is, by
  default, in the IEC library equal to five times this
  \meta{dimension}. When you change this \meta{dimension}, the size of
  all symbols will automatically change accordingly.

  Note, that it is still possible to overwrite the size of any
  particular symbol. These settings apply only to the default sizes.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC]
  \draw (0,1) to [resistor] (3.5,1);
  \draw[circuit symbol unit=14pt]
        (0,0) to [resistor] (3.5,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}

\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/huge circuit symbols}
  This style sets the default circuit symbol unit to |10pt|.
\end{stylekey}
\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/large circuit symbols}
  This style sets the default circuit symbol unit to |8pt|.
\end{stylekey}
\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/medium circuit symbols}
  This style sets the default circuit symbol unit to |7pt|.
\end{stylekey}
\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/small circuit symbols}
  This style sets the default circuit symbol unit to |6pt|.
\end{stylekey}
\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/tiny circuit symbols}
  This style sets the default circuit symbol unit to |5pt|.
\end{stylekey}

\begin{key}{/tikz/circuit symbol size=|width| \meta{width} |height|
    \meta{height}}
  This key sets |minimum height| to \meta{height} times the current
  value of the circuit symbol unit and the |minimum width| to
  \meta{width} times this value. Thus, this option can be used with a
  node command to set the size of the node as a multiple of the
  circuit symbol unit.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC]
  \draw (0,1) to [resistor] (2,1) to[inductor] (4,1);

  \begin{scope}
    [every resistor/.style={circuit symbol size=width 3 height 1}]
    \draw (0,0) to [resistor] (2,0) to[inductor] (4,0);
  \end{scope}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}



\subsubsection{Declaring New Symbols}


\begin{key}{/tikz/circuit declare symbol=\meta{name}}
  This key is used to declare a symbol. It does not cause this symbol
  to be shown nor does it set a graphic to be used for the symbol, it
  simply ``prepares'' several keys that can later be used to draw a
  symbol and to configure it.

  In detail, the first key that is defined is just called
  \meta{name}. This key should be given as an option to a |node| or on
  a |to| path, as explained below. The key will take options, which
  can be used to influence the way the symbol graphic is rendered.

  Let us have a look at an example. Suppose we want to define a symbol
  called |foo|, which just looks like a simple rectangle. We could
  then say
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
\tikzset{circuit declare symbol=foo}
\end{codeexample}
  The symbol could now be used like this:
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
  \node [foo]       at (1,1) {};
  \node [foo={red}] at (2,1) {};
\end{codeexample}

  However, in the above example we would not actually see anything
  since we have not yet set up the graphic to be used by |foo|. For
  this, we must use a key called |set foo graphic| or, generally,
  |set| \meta{name} |graphic|. This key gets graphic options as parameter
  that will be set when a symbol |foo| should be shown:
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  [circuit declare symbol=foo,
   set foo graphic={draw,shape=rectangle,minimum size=5mm}]

  \node [foo]       at (1,1) {};
  \node [foo={red}] at (2,1) {};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

  In detail, when you use the key \meta{name}=\meta{options} with a
  node, the following happens:
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item The |inner sep| is set to |0.5pt|.
  \item The following style is executed:
    \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/every circuit symbol}
      Use this style to set up things in general.
    \end{stylekey}
  \item The graphic options that have been set using
    |set| \meta{name} |graphic| are set.
  \item The style |every |\meta{name} is executed. You can use it to
    configure the symbol further.
  \item The \meta{options} are executed.
  \end{enumerate}

  The key \meta{name} will have a different effect when it is used on
  a |to| path command inside a |circuit| environment (the |circuit|
  environment sets up |to| paths in such a way that the use of a key
  declared using |circuit declare symbol| is automatically detected).
  When \meta{name} is used on a |to| path, the above actions also
  happen (setting the inner separation, using the symbol graphic, and
  so on), but they are passed to the key |circuit handle symbol|,
  which is explained next.
\end{key}


\begin{key}{/tikz/circuit handle symbol=\meta{options}}
  This key is mostly used internally. Its purpose is to render a
  symbol. The effect of this key differs, depending on whether it is
  used as the optional argument of a |to| path command or elsewhere.

  If the key is not used as an argument of a |to| path command, the
  \meta{options} are simply executed.

  The more interesting case happens when the key is given on a |to|
  path command. In this case, several things happen:
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item The |to| path is locally changed and set to an internal
    path (which you should not try to change) that consists mostly of
    a single straight line.
  \item The \meta{options} are tentatively executed with filtering
    switched on. Everything is filtered out, except for the key |pos|
    and also the styles |at start|, |very near start|, |near start|,
    |midway|, |near end|, |very near end|, and |at end|. If none of
    them is found, |midway| is used.
  \item The filtered option is used to determine a position for the
    symbol on the path. At the given position (with |pos=0|
    representing the start and |pos=1| representing the end), a node
    will be added to the path (in a manner to be described presently).
  \item This node gets \meta{options} as its option list.
  \item The node is added by virtue of a special |markings|
    decoration. This means that a |mark| command is executed that
    causes the node to be placed as a mark on the path.
  \item The marking decoration will automatically subdivide the path
    and cause a line to be drawn from the start of the path to the
    node's border (at the position that lies on a line from the node's
    center to the start of the path) and then from the node's border
    (at a position on the other side of the node) to the end of the
    path.
  \item The marking decoration will also take care of the case that
    multiple marks are present on a path, in this case the lines from
    and to the borders of the nodes are only between consecutive
    nodes.
  \item The marking decoration will also rotate the coordinate system
    in such a way that the $x$-axis points along the path. Thus, if
    you use the |transform shape| option, the node will ``point
    along'' the path.
  \item In case a node is at |pos=0| or at |pos=1| some special code
    will suppress the superfluous lines to the start or end of the
    path.
  \end{enumerate}

  The net effect of all of the above is that a node will be placed
  ``on the path'' and the path will have a ``gap'' just large enough
  to encompass the node. Another effect is that you can use this key
  multiple times on a path to add several node to a path, provided
  they do not overlap.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit]
  \draw (0,0) to [circuit handle symbol={draw,shape=rectangle,near start},
                  circuit handle symbol={draw,shape=circle,near end}] (3,2);
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[transform shape,circuit]
  \draw (0,0) to [circuit handle symbol={draw,shape=rectangle,at start},
                  circuit handle symbol={draw,shape=circle,near end}] (3,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}



\subsubsection{Pointing Symbols in the Right Direction}

Unlike normal nodes, which generally should not be rotated since this
will make their text hard to read, symbols often need to be
rotated. There are two ways of achieving such rotations:

\begin{enumerate}
\item When you place a symbol on a |to| path, the graphic symbol is
  automatically rotated such that it ``points along the path.'' Here
  is an examples that shows how the inductor shape (which looks,
  unrotated, like this: \tikz[circuit ee IEC]\node[inductor]{};) is
  automatically rotated around:
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC]
  \draw (3,0) to[inductor] (1,0) to[inductor] (0,2);
\end{codeexample}
\item Many shapes cannot be placed ``on'' a path in this way, namely
  whenever there are more than two possible inputs. Also, you may wish
  to place the nodes first, possibly using a matrix, and connect them
  afterwards. In this case, you can simply add rotations like
  |rotate=90| to the shapes to rotate them. The following four keys
  make this slightly more convenient:
  \begin{key}{/tikz/point up}
    This is the same as |rotate=90|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC] \node [diode,point up] {};
\end{codeexample}
  \end{key}
  \begin{key}{/tikz/point down}
    This is the same as |rotate=-90|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC] \node [diode,point down] {};
\end{codeexample}
  \end{key}
  \begin{key}{/tikz/point left}
    This is the same as |rotate=-180|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC] \node [diode,point left] {};
\end{codeexample}
  \end{key}
  \begin{key}{/tikz/point right}
    This key has no effect.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC] \node [diode,point right] {};
\end{codeexample}
  \end{key}
\end{enumerate}


\subsubsection{Info Labels}

Info labels are used to add text to a circuit symbol. Unlike normal
nodes like a rectangle, circuit symbols typically do not have text
``on'' them, but the text is placed next to them (like the text
``$3\,\Omega$'' next to a resistor).

\tikzname\ already provides the |label| option for this purpose. The
|info| option is built on top of this option, but it comes in some
predefined variants that are especially useful in conjunction with
circuits.

\begin{key}{/tikz/info=\opt{|[|\meta{options}|]|\meta{angle}|:|}\meta{text}}
  This key has nearly the same effect as the |label| key, only the
  following style is used additionally automatically:
  \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/every info}
    Set this style to configure the styling of info labels. Since this
    key is \emph{not} used with normal labels, it provides an easy way
    of changing the way info labels look without changing other
    labels.
  \end{stylekey}
  The \meta{options} and \meta{angle} are passed directly to the
  |label| command.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC,every info/.style=red]
  \node [resistor,info=$3\Omega$] {};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

  You will find a detailed discussion of the |label| option on
  page~\pageref{label-option}.

  Hint: To place some text \emph{on} the main node, use |center| as
  the \meta{angle}:
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC,every info/.style=red]
  \node [resistor,info=center:$3\Omega$] {};
  \node [resistor,point up,info=center:$R_1$] at (2,0) {};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/tikz/info'=\opt{|[|\meta{options}|]|\meta{angle}|:|}\meta{text}}
  This key works exactly like the |info| key, only in case the
  \meta{angle} is missing, it defaults to |below| instead of the
  current value of  |label position|, which is usually |above|. This
  means that when you use |info|, you get a label above the node,
  while when you use the |info'| key you get a label below the
  node. In case the node has been rotated, the positions of the info
  nodes are rotated accordingly.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC,every info/.style=red]
  \draw (0,0) to[resistor={info={$3\Omega$},info'={$R_1$}}] (3,0)
              to[resistor={info={$4\Omega$},info'={$R_2$}}] (3,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/tikz/info sloped=\opt{|[|\meta{options}|]|\meta{angle}|:|}\meta{text}}
  This key works like |info|, only the |transform shape| option is set
  when the label is drawn, causing it to follow the sloping of the
  main node.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC,every info/.style=red]
  \draw (0,0) to[resistor={info sloped={$3\Omega$}}] (3,0)
              to[resistor={info sloped={$4\Omega$}}] (3,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/tikz/info' sloped=}
  This is a combination of |info'| and |info sloped|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC,every info/.style=red]
  \draw (0,0) to[resistor={info' sloped={$3\Omega$}}] (3,0)
              to[resistor={info' sloped={$4\Omega$}}] (3,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/tikz/circuit declare unit=\marg{name}\marg{unit}}
  This key is used to declare keys that make it easy to attach
  physical units to nodes. The idea is that instead of
  |info=$3\Omega$| you can write |ohm=3| or instead of
  |info'=$5\mathrm{S}$| you can write |siemens'=5|.

  In detail, four keys are defined, namely |/tikz/|\meta{name},
  |/tikz/|\meta{name}|'|, |/tikz/|\meta{name} |sloped|, and
  |/tikz/|\meta{name}|'| |sloped|. The arguments of all of these keys
  are of the form
  \opt{|[|\meta{options}|]|\meta{angle}|:|}\meta{value} and it is
  passed (slightly modified) to the corresponding key |info|, |info'|,
  |info| |sloped|, or |info'| |sloped|. The ``slight modification'' is the
  following: The text that is passed to the, say, |info| key is not
  \meta{value}, but rather |$\mathrm{|\meta{value}\meta{unit}|}$|

  This means that after you said |circuit declare unit={ohm}{\Omega}|,
  then |ohm=5k| will have the same effect as
  |info={[every ohm]$\mathrm{5k\Omega}$}|. Here, |every ohm| is a
  style that allows you to configure the appearance of this unit.
  Since the |info| key is used internally, by changing the
  |every info| style, you can change the appearance of all units
  infos.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC,circuit declare unit={my ohm}{O}]
  \draw (0,0) to[resistor={my ohm' sloped=3}] (3,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}


\subsubsection{Declaring and Using Annotations}

Annotations are quite similar to info labels. The main difference is
that they generally cause something to be drawn by default rather than
some text to be added (although an annotation might also add some
text).

Annotations can be declared using the following key:

\begin{key}{/tikz/circuit declare annotation=\marg{name}\marg{distance}\marg{path}}
  This key is used to declare an annotation named \meta{name}. Once
  declared, it can be used as an argument of a symbol and will add the
  drawing in \meta{path} to the symbol. In detail, the following
  happens:

  \textbf{The Main Keys.}
  Two keys called \meta{name} and \meta{name}|'| are
  defined. The second causes the annotation to be ``mirrored and
  placed on the other side'' of the symbol. Both of these keys may
  also take further keys as parameter like |info| keys.
  Whenever the \meta{name} key is used, a local scope is opened and in
  this scope the following things are done:
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item The style |every| \meta{name} is executed.
  \item The following style is executed and then |arrows=->|:
    \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/annotation arrow}
      This style should set the |>| key to some desirable arrow tip.
    \end{stylekey}
  \item The coordinate system is shifted such that the origin is at
    the north anchor of the symbol. (For the \meta{name}|'| key the
    coordinate system is flipped and shifted such that the origin is
    at the south anchor of the symbol.)
  \item The |label distance| is locally set to \meta{distance}.
  \item The parameter options given to the \meta{name} key are
    executed.
  \item The \meta{path} is executed.
  \end{enumerate}

  \textbf{Usage.}
  What all of the above amounts to is best explained by an
  example. Suppose we wish to create an annotation that looks like a
  little circular arrow (like \tikz \draw [->] (0,0) arc
  (-270:80:1ex);). We could then say:
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
\tikzset{circuit declare annotation=
  {circular annotation}
  {9pt}
  {(0pt,8pt) arc (-270:80:3.5pt)}
}
\end{codeexample}
  We can then use it like this:
\tikzset{circuit declare annotation=
  {circular annotation}
  {8pt}
  {(0pt,8pt) arc (-270:80:3.5pt)}
}
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz[circuit ee IEC]
  \draw (0,0) to [resistor={circular annotation}]   (3,0);
\end{codeexample}
  Well, not very impressive since we do not see anything. This is due to
  the fact that the \meta{path} becomes part of a path that contains
  the symbol node an nothing else. This path is not drawn or filled,
  so we do not see anything. What we must do is to use an |edge| path
  operation:
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikzset{circuit declare annotation={circular annotation}{9pt}
  {(0pt,8pt) edge[to path={arc(-270:80:3.5pt)}] ()}
}
\tikz[circuit ee IEC]
  \draw (0,0) to [resistor={circular annotation}]   (3,0)
              to [capacitor={circular annotation'}] (3,2);
\end{codeexample}
  The \meta{distance} is important for the correct placement of
  additional |info| labels. When an annotation is present, the info
  labels may need to be moved further away from the symbol, but not
  always. For this reason, an annotation defines an additional
  \meta{distance} that is applied to all info labels given
  as parameters to the annotation. Here is an example, that shows the
  difference:
\tikzset{circuit declare annotation={circular annotation}{9pt}
  {(0pt,8pt) edge[to path={arc (-270:80:3.5pt)}] ()}
}
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz[circuit ee IEC]
  \draw (0,0) to [resistor={circular annotation,ohm=5}]   (2,0)
              to [resistor={circular annotation={ohm=5}}] (4,0);
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}


\subsubsection{Theming Symbols}
\label{section-theming-symbols}
For each symbol, a certain graphical representation is chosen to
actually show the symbol. You can modify this graphical representation
in several ways:

\begin{itemize}
\item You can select a different library and use a different
  |circuit ...| key. This will change all graphics used for the
  symbols.
\item You can generally change the size of graphic symbols by setting
  |circuit size unit| to a different value or using a key like
  |small circuit symbols|.
\item
  You can add options to the graphics used by symbols either globally
  by setting the |every circuit| |symbol| style or locally by setting the
  |every| \meta{name} style, where \meta{name} is the name of a
  symbol. For instance, in the following picture the symbols are
  ridiculously thick and resistors are red.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  [circuit ee IEC,
   every circuit symbol/.style={ultra thick},
   every resistor/.style={red}]

  \draw (0,0) to [inductor] ++(right:3) to [resistor] ++(up:2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\item You can selectively change the graphic used for a symbol
  by saying |set resistor graphic=|.
\item You can change one or more of the following styles:
  \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/circuit symbol open (initially draw)}
    This style is used with symbols that consist of lines that
    surround some area. For instance, the IEC version of a resistor is
    an open symbol.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC,
       circuit symbol open/.style={thick,draw,fill=yellow}]
  \draw (0,0) to [inductor] ++(right:3) to [resistor] ++(up:2);
\end{codeexample}
  \end{stylekey}
  \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/circuit symbol filled (initially {draw,fill=black})}
    This style is used with symbols that are completely filled. For
    instance, the variant IEC version of an inductor is a filled,
    black rectangle.
  \end{stylekey}
  \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/circuit symbol lines (initially draw)}
    This style is used with symbols that consist only of lines that do
    not surround anything. Examples are a capacitor.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC,
       circuit symbol lines/.style={thick,draw=red}]
  \draw (0,0) to [capacitor] ++(right:3) to [resistor] ++(up:2);
\end{codeexample}
  \end{stylekey}
  \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/circuit symbol wires (initially draw)}
    This style is used for symbols that consist only of ``wires.'' The
    difference to the previous style is that a symbol consisting of
    wires will look strange when the lines are thicker than the lines
    of normal wires, while for symbols consisting of lines (but not
    wires) it may look nice to make them thicker. An example is the
    |make contact| symbol.

    Compare
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC,circuit symbol lines/.style={draw,very thick}]
  \draw (0,0) to [capacitor={near start},
                  make contact={near end}] (3,0);
\end{codeexample}
    to
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC,circuit symbol wires/.style={draw,very thick}]
  \draw (0,0) to [capacitor={near start},
                  make contact={near end}] (3,0);
\end{codeexample}
  \end{stylekey}
\end{itemize}

All circuit environments like |circuit logic IEC| mainly use options
like |set and gate graphic=...| to set up the graphics used for a certain
symbol. It turns out that graphic hidden in the ``|...|'' part is also
always available as a separate style, whose name contains the
library's initials. For instance, the |circuit logic IEC| option
actually contains the following command:
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
  set and gate graphic = and gate IEC graphic,
\end{codeexample}
The |and gate IEC graphic| style, in turn, is defined as follows:
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
\tikzset{and gate IEC graphic/.style=
  {
    circuit symbol open,
    circuit symbol size=width 2.5 height 4,
    shape=and gate IEC,
    inner sep=.5ex
  }
}
\end{codeexample}

Normally, you do not need to worry about this, since you will not need
to access a style like |and gate IEC graphic| directly; you will only
use the |and gate| key. However, sometimes libraries define
\emph{variants} of a graphic; for instance, there are two variants for
the resistor graphic in the IEC library. In this case you can set the
graphic for the resistor to this variant (or back to the original) by
saying |set resistor graphic| yourself:

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC]
  % Standard resistor
  \draw (0,2) to [resistor] (3,2);

  % Var resistor
  \begin{scope}[set resistor graphic=var resistor IEC graphic]
    \draw (0,1) to [resistor] (3,1);

    % Back to original
    \draw [set resistor graphic=resistor IEC graphic]
      (0,0) to [resistor] (3,0);
  \end{scope}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}



\subsection{Logical Circuits}


\subsubsection{Overview}

A \emph{logical circuit} is a circuit that contains what we call
\emph{logical gates} like an |and gate| or an |xor gate|. The logical
libraries are intended to make it easy to draw such circuits.

In the following, we first have a look at the different libraries that
can be used in principle and how the symbols look like. Then we have a
more detailed look at how the symbols are used. Finally, we discuss
the implementation details.

There are different ways of depicting logical gates, which is why there
are different (sub-)libraries for drawing them. They provide the
necessary graphical representations of the symbols declared in the
following library:

\begin{tikzlibrary}{circuits.logic}
  This library declares the logical gate symbols, but does not
  provide the symbol graphics.
  The library also defines the following key which, however, is also
  only used indirectly, namely by other libraries:
  \begin{key}{/tikz/circuit logic}
    This style calls the keys |circuit| (which internally calls
    |every circuit|, then it defines the |inputs| key and it calls the
    |every circuit logic| key.
    \begin{key}{/tikz/inputs=\meta{inputs}}
      This key is defined only inside the scope of a
      |circuit logic|. There, it has the same effect as
      |logic gate inputs|, described on
      page~\pageref{logic-gate-inputs}.
    \end{key}
    \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/every circuit logic}
      Use this key to configure the appearance of logical circuits.
    \end{stylekey}
  \end{key}
\end{tikzlibrary}

Since the |circuit.logic| library does not define any actual graphics,
you need to use one of the following libraries, instead:

\begin{pgflibrary}{circuits.logic.IEC}
  This library provides graphics based on gates
  recommended by the International Electrotechnical Commission.  When
  you include this library, you can use the following key to
  set up a scope that contains a logical circuit where the gates are
  shown in this style.

  \begin{key}{/tikz/circuit logic IEC}
    This key calls |circuit logic| and installs the IEC-like
    graphics for the logical symbols like |and gate|.

    As explained in Section~\ref{section-theming-symbols}, for each
    graphic symbol of the library there is also a style that stores this
    particular appearance. These keys are called |and gate IEC graphic|,
    |or gate IEC graphic|, and so on.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit logic IEC,
                    every circuit symbol/.style={
                      logic gate IEC symbol color=black,
                      fill=blue!20,draw=blue,very thick}]
  \matrix[column sep=7mm]
  {
    \node (i0) {0}; &                            & \\
                    & \node [and gate] (a1) {};  & \\
    \node (i1) {0}; &                            & \node [or gate] (o) {};\\
                    & \node [nand gate] (a2) {}; & \\
    \node (i2) {1}; &                            & \\
  };
  \draw (i0.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a1.input 1);
  \draw (i1.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a1.input 2);
  \draw (i1.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a2.input 1);
  \draw (i2.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a2.input 2);
  \draw (a1.output) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (o.input 1);
  \draw (a2.output) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (o.input 2);
  \draw (o.output) -- ++(right:3mm);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
  \end{key}
\end{pgflibrary}

\begin{pgflibrary}{circuits.logic.US}
  This library provides graphics showing ``American'' logic
  gates. It defines the following key:

  \begin{key}{/tikz/circuit logic US}
    This style calls |circuit logic| and installs US-like graphics
    for the logical symbols like |and gate|. For instance, it says
    \begin{codeexample}[code only]
set and gate graphic = and gate US graphic
    \end{codeexample}

    Here is an example:
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit logic CDH,
                    tiny circuit symbols,
                    every circuit symbol/.style={
                      fill=white,draw}]
  \matrix[column sep=7mm]
  {
    \node (i0) {0}; &                            & \\
                    & \node [and gate] (a1) {};  & \\
    \node (i1) {0}; &                            & \node [or gate] (o) {};\\
                    & \node [nand gate] (a2) {}; & \\
    \node (i2) {1}; &                            & \\
  };
  \draw (i0.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a1.input 1);
  \draw (i1.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a1.input 2);
  \draw (i1.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a2.input 1);
  \draw (i2.east) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (a2.input 2);
  \draw (a1.output) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (o.input 1);
  \draw (a2.output) -- ++(right:3mm) |- (o.input 2);
  \draw (o.output) -- ++(right:3mm);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
  \end{key}
\end{pgflibrary}

\begin{pgflibrary}{circuits.logic.CDH}
  This library provides graphics based on the logic symbols used in
  A. Croft, R. Davidson, and M. Hargreaves (1992),  \emph{Engineering
    Mathematics}, Addison-Wesley, 82--95. They are identical to the
  US-style symbols, except for the and- and nand-gates.

  \begin{key}{/tikz/circuit logic CDH}
    This key calls |circuit logic US| and installs the two special
    and- and nand-gates, that is, it uses |set and gate graphic| with
    |and gate CDH graphic| and likewise for nand-gates.
  \end{key}
\end{pgflibrary}


Inside |circuit logic XYZ| scopes, you can now use the keys shown in
Section~\ref{section-logic-symbols}. We have a more detailed look at
one of them, all the other work the same way:

\begin{key}{/tikz/and gate}
  This key should be passed to a |node| command. It will cause the
  node to ``look like'' an |and gate|, where the exact appearance of the
  gate is dictated by the which circuit environment is used.   To
  further configure the appearance of the |and gate|, see
  Section~\ref{section-theming-symbols}.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit logic IEC] \node [and gate] {$A$};
\end{codeexample}
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit logic US]
{
  \node [and gate,point down] {$A$};
  \node [and gate,point down,info=center:$A$] at (1,0) {};
}
\end{codeexample}

  \medskip\textbf{Inputs.}
  Multiple inputs can be specified for a logic gate (provided they
  support multiple inputs: a not gate---also known as an
  inverter---does not). However, there is an upper limit for the
  number of inputs which has been set to 1024, which should be \emph{way}
  more than would ever be needed.

  The following key is used to configure the inputs. It is available
  only inside a |circuit logic| environment.

  \begin{key}{/tikz/inputs=\meta{input list} (initially \char`\{normal,normal\char`\})}
    If a gate has $n$ inputs, the \meta{input list} should consists of
    $n$ letters, each being |i| for ``inverted'' or |n| for
    ``normal.'' Inverted gates will be indicated by a little
    circle. In any case the anchors for the inputs will be set
    up appropriately, numbered from top to bottom |input 1|, |input 2|,
    \ldots and so on. If the gate only supports one input the anchor
    is simply called |input| with no numerical index.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit logic IEC]
  \node[and gate,inputs={inini}] (A) {};
  \foreach \a in {1,...,5}
    \draw (A.input \a -| -1,0) -- (A.input \a);
  \draw (A.output) -- ++(right:5mm);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
  \end{key}

  (This key is just a shorthand for |logic gate inputs|, described
  in detail on page~\pageref{logic-gate-inputs}. There you will also
  find descriptions of how to configure the size of the inverted
  circles and the way the symbol size increases when there are too
  many inputs.)

  \textbf{Output.}
  Every logic gate has one anchor called |output|.
\end{key}

The following table shows which symbols are declared by the main
|circuits.logic| library and their appearance in the different

\subsubsection{Implementation: The Logic Gates Shape Library}

The previous sections described the \tikzname\ interface for creating
logical circuits. In this section we take a closer look at the
underlying \pgfname\ libraries.

Just as there are several \tikzname\ circuit libraries, there are two
underlying \pgfname\ shape libraries, one for creating US-style gates
and one for IEC-style gates. These libraries define \emph{shapes}
only. It is the job of the circuit libraries to ``theme'' them so that
they ``look nice.'' However, in principle, you can also use these
shapes directly.

Let us begin with the base library that defines the handling of
inputs.

\begin{pgflibrary}{shapes.gates.logic}
  This library defines common keys used by all logical gate shapes.

\begin{key}{/pgf/logic gate inputs=\meta{input list} (initially \char`\{normal,normal\char`\})}
  \label{logic-gate-inputs}%
  Specify the inputs for the logic gate. The keyword |inverted|
  indicates an inverted input which will mean \pgfname{} will draw a
  circle attached to the main shape of the logic gate. Any keyword
  that is not |inverted| will be treated as a ``normal'' or
  ``non-inverted'' input (however, for readability, you may wish to
  use |normal| or |non-inverted|), and \pgfname{} will not draw the
  circle.
  In both cases the anchors for the inputs will be set
  up appropriately, numbered from top to bottom |input 1|, |input 2|,
  \ldots and so on. If the gate only supports one input the anchor
  is simply called |input| with no numerical index.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[minimum height=0.75cm]
  \node[and gate IEC, draw, logic gate inputs={inverted, normal, inverted}]
    (A) {};
  \foreach \a in {1,...,3}
    \draw (A.input \a -| -1,0) -- (A.input \a);
  \draw (A.output) -- ([xshift=0.5cm]A.output);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

  For multiple inputs it may be somewhat unwieldy to specify a long
  list, thus, the following ``shorthand'' is permitted (this is an
  extension of ideas due to Juergen Werber and Christoph Bartoschek):
  Using |i| for inverted and |n| for normal inputs, \meta{input list}
  can be specified \emph{without the commas}. So, for example,
  |ini| is equivalent to |inverted, normal, inverted|.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[minimum height=0.75cm]
  \node[or gate US, draw,logic gate inputs=inini] (A) {};
  \foreach \a in {1,...,5}
    \draw (A.input \a -| -1,0) -- (A.input \a);
  \draw (A.output) -- ([xshift=0.5cm]A.output);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

\end{key}

The height of the gate may be increased to accommodate the number
of inputs. In fact, it depends on three variables:
$n$, the number of inputs, $r$, the radius of the circle used
to indicate an inverted input and $s$, the distance between
the centers of the inputs.
The default height is then calculated according to the expression
$(n+1)\times\max(2r,s)$. This then may
be increased to accommodate the node contents or any
minimum size specifications.

The radius of the inverted input circle and the distance between the
centers of the inputs can be customized using the following keys:

\begin{key}{/pgf/logic gate inverted radius=\meta{length} (initially 2pt)}
  Set the radius of the circle that is used to indicate inverted
  inputs. This is also the radius of the circle used for the inverted
  output of the |nand|, |nor|, |xnor| and |not| gates.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[minimum height=0.75cm]
  \tikzset{every node/.style={shape=nand gate CDH, draw, logic gate inputs=ii}}
  \node[logic gate inverted radius=2pt] {A};
  \node[logic gate inverted radius=4pt] at (0,-1) {B};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/pgf/logic gate input sep=\meta{length} (initially .125cm)}
  Set the distance between the \emph{centers} of the inputs to the
  logic gate.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[minimum size=0.75cm]
  \draw [help lines] grid (3,2);
  \tikzset{every node/.style={shape=and gate IEC, draw, logic gate inputs=ini}}
  \node[logic gate input sep=0.33333cm] at (1,1)(A) {A};
  \node[logic gate input sep=0.5cm]     at (3,1) (B) {B};
  \foreach \a in {1,...,3}
    \draw (A.input \a -| 0,0) -- (A.input \a)
          (B.input \a -| 2,0) -- (B.input \a);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{key}

  \pgfname{} will increase the size of the
  logic gate to accommodate the number of inputs, and the size
  of the inverted radius and the separation between the inputs.
  However with all shapes in this library, any increase in size
  (including any minimum size requirements) will be applied so that
  the default aspect ratio is unaltered. This means that changing
  the height will change the width and vice versa.

\end{pgflibrary}


\subsubsection{Implementation: The US-Style Logic Gates Shape Library}

\begin{pgflibrary}{shapes.gates.logic.US}
  This library provides ``American'' logic gate shapes whose names are
  suffixed with the identifier |US|. Additionally,
  alternative |and| and |nand| gates are provided which are based on the
  logic symbols used in A. Croft, R. Davidson, and M. Hargreaves (1992),
  \emph{Engineering Mathematics}, Addison-Wesley, 82--95. These two
  shapes are suffixed with |CDH|.

  The ``compass point'' anchors apply to the main part of the shape
  and do not include any inverted inputs or outputs. This library
  provides an additional feature to facilitate the relative positioning
  of logic gates:

\begin{key}{/pgf/logic gate anchors use bounding box=\meta{boolean} (initially false)}
  When set to |true| this key will ensure that the
  compass point anchors use the bounding rectangle of the
  main shape, which, ignore any inverted inputs or outputs, but
  includes any |outer sep|.
  This \emph{only} affects the compass point anchors
  and is not set on a shape by shape basis: whether the bounding
  box is used is determined by value of this key when the anchor
  is accessed.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[minimum height=1.5cm]
  \node[xnor gate US, draw, gray!50,line width=2pt] (A) {};
  \foreach \x/\y/\z in {false/blue/1pt, true/red/2pt}
    \foreach \a in {north, south, east, west, north east,
      south east, north west, south west}
      \draw[logic gate anchors use bounding box=\x, color=\y]	
        (A.\a) circle(\z);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

\end{key}

  The library defines a number of shapes. For each shape the allowed
  number of inputs is also shown:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item |and gate US|, two or more inputs
  \item |and gate CDH|, two or more inputs
  \item |nand gate US|, two or more inputs
  \item |nand gate CDH|, two or more inputs
  \item |or gate US|, two or more inputs
  \item |nor gate US|, two or more Inputs
  \item |xor gate US|, two inputs
  \item |xnor gate US|, two inputs
  \item |not gate US|, one input
  \item |buffer gate US|, one input
  \end{itemize}

  In the following, we only have a detailed look at the anchors
  defined by one of them. We choose the |nand gate US| because it
  shows all the ``interesting'' anchors.

  \begin{shape}{nand gate US}
    This shape is a nand gate, which supports two or more inputs. If
    less than two inputs are specified an error will result.
    The anchors for this gate with two
    non-inverted inputs (using the normal compass point anchors) are
    shown below. Anchor |30| is an example of a border anchor.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\Huge
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[name=s,shape=nand gate US,shape example, inner sep=0cm,
  logic gate inputs={in},
  logic gate inverted radius=.5cm] {Nand Gate\vrule width1pt height2cm};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in
    {center/above, text/above, 30/above right,
     mid/right, mid east/left, mid west/above,
     base/below, base east/below, base west/left,
     north/above, south/below, east/above, west/above,
     north east/above, south east/below, south west/below, north west/above,
     output/right, input 1/above, input 2/below}
     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

    (For the definition of the |shape example| style, see
    Section~\ref{section-libs-shapes}.) 
  \end{shape}
\end{pgflibrary}



\subsubsection{Implementation: The IEC-Style Logic Gates Shape Library}

\begin{pgflibrary}{shapes.gates.logic.IEC}
  This library provides rectangular logic gate shapes. These shapes
  are suffixed with |IEC| as they are based on gates recommended by
  the International Electrotechnical Commission.

  By default each gate is drawn with a symbol, $\char`\&$ for |and| and
  |nand| gates, $\geq1$ for |or| and |nor| gates, $1$ for |not| and
  |buffer| gates, and $=1$ for |xor| and |xnor| gates. These symbols
  are drawn automatically (internally they are drawn using the
  ``foreground'' path), and are not strictly speaking part of the node
  contents. However, the gate is enlarged to make sure the symbols are
  within the border of the node.
  It is possible to change
  the symbols and their position within the node using the following
  keys:

\begin{key}{/pgf/and gate IEC symbol=\meta{text} (initially \char`\\char\char`\`\char`\\\char`\&)}
  Set the symbol for the |and gate|. Note that if the node is filled,
  this color will be used for the symbol, making it invisible, so
  it will be necessary set \meta{text} to something like
  |\color{black}\char`\&|. Alternatively, the
  |logic gate IEC symbol color| key can be used to set the color
  of all symbols simultaneously.

  In \tikzname, when the |use IEC style logic gates| key has been
  used, this key can be replaced by |and gate symbol|.
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/pgf/nand gate IEC symbol=\meta{text} (initially \char`\\char\char`\`\char`\\\char`\&)}
  Set the symbol for the |nand gate|.
  In \tikzname, when the |use IEC style logic gates| key has been
  used, this key can be replaced by |nand gate symbol|.
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/pgf/or gate IEC symbol=\meta{text} (initially \char`\$\char`\\geq1\char`\$)}
  Set the symbol for the |or gate|.
  In \tikzname, when the |use IEC style logic gates| key has been
  used, this key can be replaced by |or gate symbol|.
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/pgf/nor gate IEC symbol=\meta{text} (initially \char`\$\char`\\geq1\char`\$)}
  Set the symbol for the |nor gate|.
  In \tikzname, when the |use IEC style logic gates| key has been
  used, this key can be replaced by |nor gate symbol|.
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/pgf/xor gate IEC symbol=\meta{text} (initially \char`\{\char`\$=1\char`\$\char`\})}
  Set the symbol for the |xor gate|. Note the necessity for braces,
  as the symbol contains |=|.
  In \tikzname, when the |use IEC style logic gates| key has been
  used, this key can be replaced by |xor gate symbol|.
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/pgf/xnor gate IEC symbol=\meta{text} (initially  \char`\{\char`\$=1\char`\$\char`\})}
  Set the symbol for the |xnor gate|.
  In \tikzname, when the |use IEC style logic gates| key has been
  used, this key can be replaced by |xnor gate symbol|.
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/pgf/not gate IEC symbol=\meta{text} (initially 1)}
  Set the symbol for the |not gate|.
  In \tikzname, when the |use IEC style logic gates| key has been
  used, this key can be replaced by |not gate symbol|.
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/pgf/buffer gate IEC symbol=\meta{text} (initially 1)}
  Set the symbol for the |buffer gate|.
  In \tikzname, when the |use IEC style logic gates| key has been
  used, this key can be replaced by |buffer gate symbol|.
\end{key}

\begin{key}{/pgf/logic gate IEC symbol align=\meta{align} (initially top)}
  Set the alignment of the logic gate symbol (in \tikzname, when the
  |use IEC style logic gates| key has been used, |IEC| can be omitted.
  The specification in \meta{align} is a comma separated list from
  |top|, |bottom|, |left| or |right|. The distance between the border
  of the node and the outer edge of the symbol is determined by the values
  of the |inner xsep| and |inner ysep|.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[minimum size=1cm, use IEC style logic gates]
	\tikzset{every node/.style={nor gate, draw}}
  \node (A) at (0,1.5) {};
  \node [logic gate symbol align={bottom, right}] (B) at (0,0) {};
  \foreach \g in {A, B}{
    \foreach \i in {1,2}
      \draw ([xshift=-0.5cm]\g.input \i) -- (\g.input \i);
    \draw (\g.output) -- ([xshift=0.5cm]\g.output);
  }
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

\end{key}


\begin{key}{/pgf/logic gate IEC symbol color=\meta{color}}
  This key sets the color for all symbols simultaneously. This color
  can be overridden on a case by case basis by specifying a color
  when setting the symbol text.
\end{key}

  The library defines the following shapes:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item |and gate IEC|, two or more inputs
  \item |nand gate IEC|, two or more inputs
  \item |or gate IEC|, two or more inputs
  \item |nor gate IEC|, two or more inputs
  \item |xor gate IEC|, two inputs
  \item |xnor gate IEC|, two inputs
  \item |not gate IEC|, one input
  \item |buffer gate IEC|, one input
  \end{itemize}

  Again, we only have a look at the nand-gate in more detail:

\begin{shape}{nand gate IEC}
  This shape is a nand gate. It supports two or more inputs.
  If less than two inputs are specified an error will result.
	The anchors for this gate with two
  inverted inputs are
  shown below. Anchor |30| is an example of a border anchor.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\Huge
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[name=s,shape=nand gate IEC ,shape example, inner xsep=1cm, inner ysep=1cm,
    minimum height=6cm, nand gate IEC symbol=\color{black!30}\char`\&,

    logic gate inverted radius=0.65cm]
  {Nand Gate\vrule width1pt height2cm};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in

     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}
\end{pgflibrary}




\subsection{Electrical Engineering Circuits}

\subsubsection{Overview}

An \emph{electrical engineering circuit} contains symbols like
resistors or capacitors or voltage sources and annotations like the
two arrows pointing toward an element whose behaviour is light
dependent. The electrical engineering libraries, abbreviated
ee-libraries, provide such symbols and annotations.

Just as for logical gates, there are different ways of drawing
ee-symbols. Currently, there is one main library for drawing circuits,
which uses the graphics from the International Electrotechnical
Commission, but you can add your own libs. This is why, just as for
logical gates, there is a base library and more specific libraries.

\begin{tikzlibrary}{circuits.ee}
  This library declares the ee symbols, but (mostly) does not
  provide the symbol graphics, which is left to the sublibraries.
  Just like the logical gates library, a key is defined that is
  normally only used internally:
  \begin{key}{/tikz/circuit ee}
    This style calls the keys |circuit| (which internally calls
    |every circuit| and the following style:
    \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/every circuit ee}
      Use this key to configure the appearance of logical circuits.
    \end{stylekey}
  \end{key}

  The library also declares some standard annotations and units.
\end{tikzlibrary}

As for logical circuits, to draw a circuit the first step is to
include a library containing the symbols graphics. Currently, you have to
include |circuits.ee.IEC|.

\begin{tikzlibrary}{circuit.ee.IEC}
  When this library is loaded, you can use the following style:
  \begin{key}{/tikz/circuit ee IEC}
    This style calls |circuit ee| and installs the IEC-like
    graphics for the logical symbols like |resistor|.
  \end{key}
\end{tikzlibrary}

Inside the |circuit ee IEC| scope, you can now use the keys for
symbols, units, and annotations listed in the later sections. We have
a more detailed look at one of each of them, all the others work the
same way.

Let us start with an example of a symbol: the resistor symbol. The
other predefined symbols are listed in
Section~\ref{section-circuits-ee-symbols} and later sections.

\begin{key}{/tikz/resistor=\opt{\meta{options}}}
  This key should be used with a |node| path command or with the |to|
  path command.

  \medskip\textbf{Using the Key with Normal Nodes.}
  When used with a node, it will cause this node to
  ``look like'' a resistor (by default, in the IEC library, this is
  just a simple rectangle).
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC]
  \node [resistor] {};
\end{codeexample}

  Unlike normal nodes, a resistor node generally should not take any
  text (as in |node [resistor] {foo}|). Instead, the labeling of
  resistors should be done using the |label|, |info| and |ohm|
  options.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC]
  \node [resistor,ohm=5] {};
\end{codeexample}

  The \meta{options} make no real sense when the |resistor| option is
  used with a normal node, you can just as well given them to the
  |node| itself. Thus, the following has the same effect as the above
  example:
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC]
  \node [resistor={ohm=5}] {};
\end{codeexample}

  In a circuit, you will often wish to rotate elements. For this, the
  options |point up|, |point down|, |point left| or |point right| may
  be especially useful. They are just shorthands for appropriate
  rotations like |rotate=90|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC] {
  \node (R1) [resistor,point up,ohm=5] at (3,1) {};
  \node (R2) [resistor,ohm=10k]        at (0,0) {};
  \draw (R2) -| (R1);
}
\end{codeexample}

  \medskip\textbf{Using the Key on a To Path.}
  When the |resistor| key is used on a |to| path inside a
  |circuit ee IEC|, the |circuit handle symbol| key is called
  internally. This has a whole bunch of effects:
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item The path currently being constructed is cut up to make place
    for a node.
  \item This node will be a |resistor node| that is rotated so that it
    points ``along'' the path (unless an option like |shift only| or
    an extra rotation is used to change this).
  \item The \meta{options} passed to the |resistor| key are passed on
    to the node.
  \item The \meta{options} are pre-parsed to identify a |pos| key or
    a key like |at start| or |midway|. These keys are used to
    determine where on the |to| path the node will lie.
  \end{enumerate}

  Since the \meta{options} of the |resistor| key are passed on to the
  resistor node on the path, you can use it to add labels to the
  node. Here is a simple example:

\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC]
  \draw (0,0) to [resistor=red]        (3,0)
              to [resistor={ohm=2\mu}] (3,2);
\end{codeexample}

  You can add multiple labels to a resistor and you can have multiple
  resistors (or other elements) on a single path.

  \medskip\textbf{Inputs, Outputs, and Anchors.}
  Like the logical gates, all ee-symbols have an |input|
  and an |output| anchor. Special-purpose-nodes may have even more
  anchors of this type. Furthermore, the ee-symbols-nodes also have four
  standard compass direction anchors.

  \medskip\textbf{Changing the Appearance.}
  To configure the appearance of all |resistor|s, see
  Section~\ref{section-theming-symbols}. You can use the
  \meta{options} to locally change the appearance of a single
  resistor.
\end{key}

Let us now have a look at an example of a unit: the Ohm unit. The
other predefined units are listed in Section~\ref{section-circuits-units}.

\begin{key}{/tikz/ohm=\meta{value}}
  This key is used to add an |info| label to a node with a special
  text: |$\mathrm{|\meta{value}|\Omega}$|. In other words, the |ohm|
  key can only be used with the options of a node and, when used, it
  will cause the \meta{value} to be placed next to the node, followed
  by $\Omega$. Since the \meta{value} is typeset inside a |\mathrm|
  command, when you write |ohm=5k| you get $\mathrm{5k\Omega}$,
  |ohm=5p| yields $\mathrm{5p\Omega}$, and |ohm=5.6\cdot 10^{2}\mu|
  yields $\mathrm{5.6\cdot 10^{2}\mu\Omega}$.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC] \draw (0,0) to [resistor={ohm=5M}] (0,2);
\end{codeexample}

  Instead of |ohm| you can also use |ohm'|, which places the label on
  the other side.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC] \draw (0,0) to [resistor={ohm'=5M}] (0,2);
\end{codeexample}

  Finally, there are also keys |ohm sloped| and |ohm' sloped| for
  having the info label rotate together with the main node.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC]
  \draw (0,0) to [resistor={ohm sloped=5M}] (0,2)
        (2,0) to [resistor={ohm' sloped=6f}]  (2,2);
\end{codeexample}

  You can configure the appearance of an Ohm info label using the key
  |every ohm|.
\end{key}

Finally, let us have a look at an annotation: the |light emitting|
annotation. The other predefined units are listed in
Section~\ref{section-circuits-annotations}.

\begin{key}{/tikz/light emitting=\opt{\meta{options}}}
  Like a unit, an annotation should be given as an additional option
  to a node. It causes some drawings (in this case, two parallel
  lines) to be placed next to the node.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC] \draw (0,0) to [diode=light emitting] (2,0);
\end{codeexample}

  The \meta{options} can be used for three different things:
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item You can use keys like |red| to change the appearance of this
    annotation, locally.
  \item You can use keys like |<-|  or |-latex| to change the
    direction and kinds of arrows used in the annotation.
  \item You can use info labels like |ohm=5| or |info=foo| inside the
    \meta{options}. These info labels will be added to the main node
    (not to the annotation itself), but the label distance will have
    been changed to accommodate for the space taken up by the
    annotation.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz [circuit ee IEC]
{
  \draw (0,2) to [diode={light emitting,info=not good}] (2,2);
  \draw (0,0) to [diode={light emitting={info=better},
                         info'=also good}]  (2,0);
}
\end{codeexample}
  \end{enumerate}

  In addition to |light emitting| there is also a key called
  |light emitting'|, which simply places the annotation on the other
  side of the node.

  You can configure the appearance of annotations in three ways:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item You can set the |every circuit annotation| style.
  \item You can set the |every light emitting| style.
  \item You can set the following key:
    \begin{stylekey}{/tikz/annotation arrow}
      This style should set the default |>| arrow to some nice value.
    \end{stylekey}
  \end{itemize}
\end{key}

\noindent
\begin{tabular}{p{5cm}c}
  \emph{Key} & \emph{Appearance of $1$ unit} \\[.25em]
  \unitexample{/tikz/ampere}
  \unitexample{/tikz/volt}
  \unitexample{/tikz/ohm}
  \unitexample{/tikz/siemens}
  \unitexample{/tikz/henry}
  \unitexample{/tikz/farad}
  \unitexample{/tikz/coulomb}
  \unitexample{/tikz/voltampere}
  \unitexample{/tikz/watt}
  \unitexample{/tikz/hertz}
\end{tabular}



\subsubsection{Annotations}

\label{section-circuits-annotations}

The |circuit.ee.IEC| library defines the following annotations:
\medskip

\noindent
\begin{tabular}{p{5cm}ll}
  \emph{Key} & \emph{Appearance} \\[.25em]
  \annotationexample{/tikz/light emitting}
  \annotationexample{/tikz/light dependent}
  \annotationexample{/tikz/direction info}
  \annotationexample{/tikz/adjustable}
\end{tabular}
\medskip

The lines have been produced using, in essence,
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
\draw (0,0)  to [resistor=light emitting] (2,0)  to [diode=light emitting'] (4,0);
\end{codeexample}
and similarly for the other annotations.


\subsubsection{Implementation: The EE-Symbols Shape Library}

The \tikzname\ libraries depend on two shape libraries, which are
included automatically. Usually, you will not need to use these shapes
directly.

\begin{pgflibrary}{shapes.gates.ee}
  This library defines basic shapes that can be used by all ee-circuit
  libraries. Currently, it defines the following shapes:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item |rectangle ee|
  \item |circle ee|
  \item |direction ee|
  \end{itemize}
  Additionally, the library defines the following arrow tip:
  The |direction ee| arrow tip is basically the same as a |triangle 45|
  arrow tip with rounded joins.

  \begin{tabular}{ll}
    \symarrow{direction ee}
  \end{tabular}

  However, unlike normal arrow tips, its size does \emph{not} depend on
  the current line width. Rather, it depends on the value of its
  arrow options, which should be set to the desired size. Thus, you
  should say something like |\pgfsetarrowoptions{direction ee}{5pt}| to
  set the size of the arrow.
\end{pgflibrary}

\begin{shape}{rectangle ee}
  This shape is completely identical to a normal |rectangle|, only
  there are two additional anchors: The |input| anchor is an alias for
  the |west| anchor, while the |output| anchor is an alias for the
  |east| anchor.
\end{shape}

\begin{shape}{circle ee}
  Like the |rectangle ee| shape, only for circles.
\end{shape}

\begin{shape}{direction ee}
  This shape is rather special. It is intended to be used to ``turn an
  arrow tip into a shape.'' First, you should set the following key to
  the name of an arrow tip:
  \begin{key}{/pgf/direction ee arrow=\meta{right arrow tip name}}
    The value of this key will be used for the arrow tip depicted in
    an |direction ee| shape.
  \end{key}
  When a node of shape |direction ee| is created, several things
  happen:
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item The size of the shape is computed according to the following
    rules: The width of the shape is set up so that the left border of
    the shape is at the left end of the arrow tip and the right border
    is at the right end of the arrow tip. These left and right
    ``ends'' of the arrow are the left and right extents specified by
    the arrow itself (see the documentation of the |\pgfarrowsdeclare|
    for details). You usually need not worry about this width
    setting.

    By comparison, the height of the arrow is given by the current
    setting of |minimum height|. Thus, this key must have been set up
    correctly to reflect the ``real'' height of the arrow tip. The
    reason is that the height of an arrow is not specified when arrows
    are declared and is, thus, not available, here.

    Possibly, the height computation will change in the future to
    reflect the real height of the arrow, so you should generally
    set up the |minimum height| to be the same as the real height.
  \item A straight line from left to right inside the shape's
    boundaries is added to the background path.
  \item The arrow tip, pointing right, is drawn before the background
    path.
  \end{enumerate}
  The anchors of this shape are just the compass anchors, which lie on
  a rectangle whose width and height are the above-computed height and
  width.

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \pgfsetarrowoptions{direction ee}{6cm}
  \node[name=s,shape=direction ee,shape example,minimum height=0.7654*6cm] {};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in
    {center/above, 30/above right,
     north/above, south/below, east/left, west/right,
     north east/above, south east/below, south west/below, north west/above,
     input/left,output/right}
     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}[direction ee arrow=angle 45]
  \node[name=s,shape=direction ee,shape example,minimum height=1.75cm] {};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in {north/above, south/below,
                                  output/right, input/left}
     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}


\subsubsection{Implementation: The IEC-Style EE-Symbols Shape Library}

\begin{pgflibrary}{shapes.gates.ee.IEC}
  This library defines shapes for depicting ee symbols according to
  the IEC recommendations. These shapes will typically be
  used in conjunction with the graphic mechanism detailed earlier, but
  you can also used them directly.
\end{pgflibrary}

\begin{shape}{generic circle IEC}
  This shape inherits from |circle ee|, which in turn is just a normal
  |circle| with additional |input| and |output| anchors at the left
  and right ends. However, additionally, this shape allows you to
  specify a path that should be added before the background path using
  the following key:
  \begin{key}{/pgf/generic circle IEC/before background=\meta{code}}
    When a node of shape |generic circle IEC| is created, the current
    setting of this key is used as the ``before background path.''
    This means that after the circle's background has been
    drawn/filled/whatever, the \meta{code} is executed.

    When the \meta{code} is executed, the coordinate system will have
    been transformed in such a way that the point
    $(1\mathrm{pt},0\mathrm{pt})$ lies at the right end of the circle
    and $(0\mathrm{pt},1\mathrm{pt})$ lies at the top of the
    circle. (More precisely, these points will lie exactly on the
    middle of the radial line.)
  \end{key}
  Here is an examples of how to use this shape:
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz \node [generic circle IEC,
             /pgf/generic circle IEC/before background={
               \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfpointorigin}
               \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{1pt}{0pt}}
               \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{0pt}{1pt}}
               \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{-0.5pt}{-0.5pt}}
               \pgfusepathqstroke
             },
             draw] {Hello world};
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}


\begin{shape}{generic diode IEC}
  This shape is used to depict diodes. The main shape is taken up by a
  ``right pointing'' triangle. The anchors are positioned on the border of
  a rectangle around the diode, see the below example.  The
  diode's size is based on the current settings of |minimum width| and
  |minimum height|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[name=s,shape=generic diode IEC,shape example,minimum size=6cm] {};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in
    {center/above, 30/above right,
     north/above, south/below, east/left, west/right,
     north east/above, south east/below, south west/below, north west/above,
     input/left,output/right}
     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

  This shape, like the |generic circle IEC| shape, is generic in the
  sense that there is a special key that is used for the before
  background drawings:
  \begin{key}{/pgf/generic diode IEC/before background=\meta{code}}
    Similarly to the |generic circle IEC| shape, when a node of shape
    |generic diode IEC| is created, the current setting of this key is
    used as the ``before background path.''
    When the \meta{code} is executed, the coordinate system will have
    been transformed in such a way that the origin is at the ``tip''
    of the diode's triangle, the point $(0\mathrm{pt},1\mathrm{pt})$
    is exactly half the diode's height above this origin, and
    the point $(1\mathrm{pt},0\mathrm{pt})$ is half the diode's height
    to the right of the origin.

    The idea is that you use this key to draw different kinds of diode
    endings.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz \node [minimum size=1cm,generic diode IEC,
             /pgf/generic diode IEC/before background={
               \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfqpoint{-.5pt}{-1pt}}
               \pgfpathlineto{\pgfqpoint{.5pt}{-1pt}}
               \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfqpoint{0pt}{-1pt}}
               \pgfpathlineto{\pgfqpoint{0pt}{1pt}}
               \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfqpoint{-.5pt}{1pt}}
               \pgfpathlineto{\pgfqpoint{.5pt}{1pt}}
               \pgfusepathqstroke
             },
             draw] {};
\end{codeexample}
  \end{key}
\end{shape}



\begin{shape}{breakdown diode IEC}
  This shape is used to depict a bidirectional breakdown diode. The
  diode's size is based on the current settings of |minimum width| and
  |minimum height|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[name=s,shape=breakdown diode IEC,shape example,minimum width=6cm,minimum height=4cm] {};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in
    {center/above, 30/above right,
     north/above, south/below, east/left, west/right,
     north east/above, south east/below, south west/below, north west/above,
     input/left,output/right}
     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}

\begin{shape}{var resistor IEC}
  This shape is used to depict a variant version of a resistor. Its
  size is computed as for a rectangle (thus, its size depends things
  like the |minimum height|). Then, inside this rectangle, a
  background path is set up according to the following rule: Starting
  from the left end, zigzag segments are added to the path. Each
  segment consists of a line at a 45 degree angle going up to the top
  of the rectangle, then going down to the bottom, then going up to
  mid height of the node. As many segments as possible are put inside
  as possible. The last segment is then connected to the output anchor
  via a straight line.

  All of this means that, in general, the shape should be much wider
  than high.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[name=s,shape=var resistor IEC,shape example,minimum width=7cm,minimum height=1cm] {};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in
    {center/above, 30/above right,
     north/above, south/below, east/left, west/right,
     north east/above, south east/below, south west/below, north west/above,
     input/left,output/right}
     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}


\begin{shape}{inductor IEC}
  This shape is used to depict an inductor, using a bumpy line. Its
  size is computed as follows: Any text and |inner sep| are ignored
  (and should normally not be given). The |minimum height| plus
  (twice) the |outer ysep| specify the distance between the |north|
  and |south| anchors, similarly for the |minimum width| plus the
  |outer xsep| for the |east| and |west|.
  The bumpy line is drawn starting from the lower left corner to the
  lower right corner with bumps being half-circles whose height is
  exactly the |minimum height|. The |center| of the shape is just
  above the |south| anchor, at a distance of the |outer ysep|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[name=s,shape=inductor IEC,shape example,minimum width=7cm,minimum height=1cm] {};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in
    {center/above, 30/above right,
     north/above, south/below, east/left, west/right,
     north east/above, south east/below, south west/below, north west/above,
     input/left,output/right}
     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
  Just as for a |var resistor IEC|, as many bumps as possible are
  added and the last bump is connected to the output anchor via a
  straight line.
\end{shape}

\begin{shape}{capacitor IEC}
  This shape is based on a |rectangle ee|. However, instead of a
  rectangle as the background path, only the ``left and right lines''
  that make up the rectangle are drawn.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[name=s,shape=capacitor IEC,shape example,
        minimum width=2cm,minimum height=3cm,inner sep=0pt] {};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in
    {center/above, 30/above right,
     north/above, south/below, east/left, west/right,
     north east/above, south east/below, south west/below, north west/above,
     input/left,output/right}
     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}

\begin{shape}{battery IEC}
  This shape is similar to a |capacitor IEC|, however, the right line is
  only half the height of the left line.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz \node[shape=battery IEC,shape example,minimum size=2cm,
            inner sep=0pt] {};
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}

\begin{shape}{ground IEC}
  This shape is similar to a |batter IEC|, only three lines of
  different heights are drawn.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz \node[shape=ground IEC,shape example,minimum size=2cm,
            inner sep=0pt] {};
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}

\begin{shape}{make contact IEC}
  This shape consists of a line going from the lower left corner to
  the upper right corner. The size and anchors of this shape are
  computed in the same way as for an |inductor IEC|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[name=s,shape=make contact IEC,shape example,minimum width=3cm,minimum height=1cm] {};
  \foreach \anchor/\placement in
    {center/above, 30/above right,
     north/above, south/below, east/left, west/right,
     north east/above, south east/below, south west/below, north west/above,
     input/left,output/right}
     \draw[shift=(s.\anchor)] plot[mark=x] coordinates{(0,0)}
       node[\placement] {\scriptsize\texttt{(s.\anchor)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}

\begin{shape}{var make contact IEC}
  This shape works like |make contact IEC|, only a little circle is
  added to the path at the lower left corner. The radius of this
  circle is one twelfth of the width of the node.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz \node[shape=var make contact IEC,shape example,
            minimum height=1cm,minimum width=3cm,inner sep=0pt] {};
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}

\begin{shape}{break contact IEC}
  This shape depicts a contact that can be broken. It works like
  |make contact IEC|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz \node[shape=break contact IEC,shape example,
            minimum height=1cm,minimum width=3cm,inner sep=0pt] {};
\end{codeexample}
\end{shape}

\endinput
