We can check the manual and see the c where we notice the type of the component (it is a node-type component, so we have to use \texttt{node} to position it) and the available ``anchors'': points we can use to position the shape or to connect to. Not all the anchors are \emph{explicitly} printed in the description box; you should read further in the manual and you'll see a ``\emph{component} anchors'' (\ref{sec:amplifiers-anchors}) section with the relevant information. -Anyway, the op-amp must be connected with the \texttt{+} anchor to our input wire, so we say \texttt{anchor=+} in the option lists; this shifts the whole element so that the named anchor will lie at the current position of the path. Moreover, normally the shape has the inverting input on the bottom side, and we want it the other way around, so we use also \texttt{noinv input up} in the keys defining the node. We could also have flipped the shape with \texttt{yscale=-1}, but in this case we should have considered the effects on anchors and on the text; see section~\ref{sec:mirroring-and-flipping}. +Anyway, the op-amp must be connected with the \texttt{+} anchor to our input wire, so we say \texttt{anchor=+} in the option lists; this shifts the whole element so that the named anchor will lie at the current position of the path.
