Second mark coordinate in decoration in postaction not recognized












0















In decoration, second mark coordinate is not recognized:



  draw[thick,red,zigzag,postaction={
decoration={
markings,
mark=at position 0.7 with coordinate (x);
mark=at position 0.5 with coordinate (z); %unable to recognize z
},
decorate
}] (-2,0) coordinate(a) -- (2,0) coordinate(b);


The MWE is as follows:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}
usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings}
usetikzlibrary{calc}
usetikzlibrary{positioning}
tikzset{zigzag/.style={decorate,decoration=zigzag}}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
coordinate (c) at (0,-2);
coordinate (d) at (4,-2);
coordinate (e) at (2,-4);
draw[thick,red,zigzag,postaction={
decoration={
markings,
mark=at position 0.7 with coordinate (x);
mark=at position 0.5 with coordinate (z); %unable to recognize z
},
decorate
}] (-2,0) coordinate(a) -- (2,0) coordinate(b);

draw[thick,fill=blue!20] (c) -- (b) -- (d) -- (e) -- cycle;
draw[thick,postaction={
decoration={
markings,
mark = at position 0.7 with coordinate (y);
},
decorate
}] (a) -- (c);
draw[thick,red,dashed] (x) -- (y);

node[above = 10ex of z,red] (sn) {singularity};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}


When I compile this code using PDFLaTeX, I get the following:



! Package pgf Error: No shape named z is known.

See the pgf package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...

l.32 node[above = 10ex of z,red]
(sn) {singularity};
?


Please guide me where I am going wrong.
