# \psTextFrame with origin specified does not affect the content position

\psTextFrame[origin={x,y}](0,0)(1,1){content} does slide its frame's center to (x,y) but leave the content at (0.5,0.5). Is it a bug or feature?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}

\psset{unit=1cm}% default unit

%\newcommand\mybox[3]{\rput(#1,#2){\psTextFrame[dimen=outer](0,0)(1,1){#3}}}

\newcommand\mybox[3]{\psTextFrame[origin={#1,#2},dimen=outer](0,0)(1,1){#3}}

\begin{document}
\pspicture[showgrid=false](3,3)
\mybox{1}{2}{A} \mybox{2}{2}{B}
\mybox{0}{1}{A} \mybox{1}{1}{0} \mybox{2}{1}{1}
\mybox{0}{0}{B} \mybox{1}{0}{1} \mybox{2}{0}{0}
\endpspicture
\end{document}


Bonus question: To solve this, I am forced to use \rput (see the commented line in the above code snippet). However, I noticed that there are some white gaps (marked by red circles) between boxes as shown below. The green circle shows there is no white gap.

-

origin works only for real PSTricks objects which are defined as \pst@object and \psTextFrame isn't. I cannot see your behaviour of the lines with a magnification of 6400 in avroread.

\psTextFrame can be simulated by using \psframe and \parbox displaced by \rput. So my own solution is as follows.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\SpecialCoor
\psset{unit=1cm}% default unit

%\newcommand\mybox[3]{\rput(#1,#2){\psTextFrame[dimen=outer](0,0)(1,1){#3}}}

\newcommand\mybox[3]{
\psframe[origin={#1,#2},dimen=outer](0,0)(1,1)
}

\begin{document}
\pspicture[showgrid=false](3,3)
\mybox{1}{2}{A} \mybox{2}{2}{B}
\mybox{0}{1}{A} \mybox{1}{1}{0} \mybox{2}{1}{1}
\mybox{0}{0}{B} \mybox{1}{0}{1} \mybox{2}{0}{0}
\endpspicture
\end{document}


Answer for the bonus question: Apparently the gaps occurs when using psTextFrame and when a small number passed to dvips -D<number>. To get rid of the gaps, pass 10000 to dvips or use xelatex.
