2 Constructors

Every constructor here is a thin declaration over typograph’s generic model — node-type(kind) for nodes, edge-type(preset) for wires. None needs bespoke wrapper code; see typograph’s own node-type() and edge-type() docs for the factories themselves.

2.1 Node constructors

All accept numeric (x, y) and, unless noted, label:, name:, style:.

Constructor	Bundled appearance	Notes
`zx.z(x, y, ..)`	green circle; stadium when labelled	Z spider
`zx.x(x, y, ..)`	red circle; stadium when labelled	X spider
`zx.fock(x, y, ..)`	orange circle; stadium when labelled	Fock spider
`zx.w(x, y, .., flip: auto)`	right-pointing triangle	W node
`zx.h(x, y, ..)`	yellow square	Hadamard
`zx.mult(x, y, .., flip: auto)`	pointer/arrow	multiplier
`zx.scalar(x, y, ..)`	label only	frameless scalar
`zx.state(x, y, ..)`	right-pointing flat triangle	state generator
`zx.effect(x, y, ..)`	left-pointing flat triangle	distinct `"effect"` kind; `flip: true` factory default
`zx.map(x, y, .., flip: auto)`	trapezoid	mirrors before rotation

state/effect are distinct kinds — independently themeable — that happen to share one visual preset in this theme, related by effect’s flip: true base style rather than by a separate shape. This is exactly the pattern typograph’s own Directional shapes and flip chapter describes: a mirror, not a rotation.

2.2 Edge constructors

Constructor	Style
`zx.plain(a, b)`	the bare default stroke
`zx.pauli-z(a, b)`	green highlight
`zx.pauli-x(a, b)`	red highlight
`zx.pauli-zx(a, b)`	combined two-sided Pauli web (red/green highlight, one on each side)
`zx.ideal(a, b)`	solid purple stroke
`zx.faulty(a, b)`	dashed orange stroke
`zx.classical(a, b)`	dashed black stroke
`zx.thick(a, b)`	heavier black stroke

Every constructor here accepts all normal typ.edge() arguments — multiple waypoints, label:, clip:, direct style overrides. The generic form remains available for a dynamically selected preset:

typ.edge(a, b, preset: "pauli-zx")

Exact colours and stroke values are in the Theme reference.
