comment Styling every node without affecting coordinate styles
@AndrewSwann: you found that out by try and error? DO you know why it does so/ how it changes the behaviour of above?

comment Styling every node without affecting coordinate styles
@AndrewSwann: please check out writelatex.com/183836pjczpg or try the full code I posted in the awnser (I was to lazy to strip down all the headers, but it will compile fine on writelatex). P.S.: my local tikz version is tikz.sty 2010/10/13 v2.10 (rcs-revision 1.76) as well.

comment Styling every node without affecting coordinate styles
@AndrewSwann: thanks for the hint. I added the example to my question. Just to point it out: the coordinate in my comment is inside the path that is drawn with \draw[umlTransition] (\draw[umlTransition] (1,2) coordinate (example)), but for ease of reading have a look at the changed question.

@MarkWibrow I added a minimal example at the bottom of Andrew Swann`s awnser to demonstrate

@AndrewSwann I hope my edit is alright, I observer that I get by without negative shifts in this case, I hope on [Mark Wibrow][tex.stackexchange.com/users/23215/mark-wibrow] to solve the mistery.

comment Styling every node without affecting coordinate styles
@MarkWibrow : In my case I miss to see the additivity: I have a style umlTransition/.style={-angle 60, every node/.style={above=.4 ex, anchor=base}} and apply this to draw commands, for the coordinates I fixed the application by adding [above=0] to every coordinate, e.g.: \draw[umlTransition, umlShortened] (joinDiscard) |- coordinate[above=0] (discardCorner) (fetchJoinCorner);. For some reason above seems to be none additive in this case (it fixed my issue). Do you have an explanation (I assume it has something todo with how tikz manages styles and dirket option, but am quite unsure)

comment Bussymbol for tikz circuit lib
I will have to do so and post my results here. To incorporate this into tikz one has to (or at least it is common practice) use pgf commands, which are the foundation of tikz but at the moment a level below my understanding. I hoped to get some help with that but now I will read through the manual for one simple line. At least it is an easy shape to draw :p.

comment Bussymbol for tikz circuit lib
+1 for the effort, however there is a reason why I fancy a criciut tikz symbol: if used in the cricuit lib, tikz will rotate it (and the labels if you wish) for you, it scales well, and you have anchors. Furthermore it is connected for you if zou want to integrate the symbol into a network.

comment UML Statediagram
the problem with a macro is not loosing tikz power... (adding positioning, nameing the nodes are most important and possible, but what about special cases like different fills, fancy decorations,...) (sort of forwarding), I am rather leaving this untouched (I am clueless as to how do proper forwarding, best would be a command that mimics a node (in alll ways), but has two textparameters.

comment UML Statediagram
btw. for people drawing statediagrams defining a style helps. Just put [stateNode/.style={rectangle split, rectangle split parts=2, draw, rounded corners, fill=yellow!10}] behind tikzpicture and use it with \node[statenode]{...}, I wonder if there is a shortcut for the \nodepart{two}\tabular-part since this gets tedious

comment UML Statediagram
Looks awesome, this can be simplified, since I only had the redf rame to show were the lines was supposed to be. Thank you very much (I think the implementor of tikz-uml could improve his library with his approach(correct look, handling like a standard tikz node, and if simplified no more hassle than the tikz-uml state representation)).

@JohnWickerson: I am not sayinig I am not going to use all the fine nodes for History states decisions statart state, etc. . I am just looking for a better implementation of the state node.
