Tikz: place node leftmost of two nodes of different widths
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
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 local bounding box known the left/right/top/bottom-most coordinate of everything that's inside.
documentclassminimal
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarypositioning
begindocument
begintikzpicture
coordinate (origin) at (0,0) ;
beginscope[local bounding box=nodes]
node[above=10pt of origin,anchor=east] (topnode) Short;
node[below=10pt of origin,anchor=east] (bottomnode) Longer Node;
endscope
node[anchor=west] at (origin-|nodes.west) here I am;
endtikzpicture
enddocument

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:
