I have the following tikz picture:



documentclassminimal
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarypositioning
begindocument
begintikzpicture
coordinate (origin) at (0,0) ;
node[above=10pt of origin,anchor=east] (topnode) Short;
node[below=10pt of origin,anchor=east] (bottomnode) Longer Node;
endtikzpicture
enddocument


My goal is to place a node at position (x,y), with y=0, but with x equal to leftmost of the two nodes (topnode) and (bottomnode). I would like to do this without hard-coding the position. So that the position would still be correct if I changed the content of those two nodes.

            A different way: use the pgfgetlastxy:



            documentclass[tikz]standalone
            usetikzlibrarypositioning
            newdimenxone
            newdimeny
            newdimenxtwo
            begindocument
            begintikzpicture
            coordinate (origin) at (0,0) ;
            node[above=10pt of origin,anchor=east,inner sep=0pt] (topnode) Short;
            node[below=10pt of origin,anchor=east,inner sep=0pt] (bottomnode) Longer Node;
            path (topnode.west);
            pgfgetlastxyxoney;
            path (bottomnode.west);
            pgfgetlastxyxtwoy;
            draw (min(xone,xtwo),0) circle (1pt);
            endtikzpicture
            enddocument


            I put a circle to the desired place. You can change it to whatever you want, you can even use this as a coordinate:

                          A different way: use the pgfgetlastxy:



                          documentclass[tikz]standalone
                          usetikzlibrarypositioning
                          newdimenxone
                          newdimeny
                          newdimenxtwo
                          begindocument
                          begintikzpicture
                          coordinate (origin) at (0,0) ;
                          node[above=10pt of origin,anchor=east,inner sep=0pt] (topnode) Short;
                          node[below=10pt of origin,anchor=east,inner sep=0pt] (bottomnode) Longer Node;
                          path (topnode.west);
                          pgfgetlastxyxoney;
                          path (bottomnode.west);
                          pgfgetlastxyxtwoy;
                          draw (min(xone,xtwo),0) circle (1pt);
                          endtikzpicture
                          enddocument


                          I put a circle to the desired place. You can change it to whatever you want, you can even use this as a coordinate:
