How to rotate the label counter clockwise such that its base line is parallel to the bisector?

a solution without knowing B'

\usepackage{pst-eucl}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=false](6,6)
\pstGeonode[CurveType=polyline](1,1){A}(5,5){B}(4,1){C}
\pcline[linestyle=none](!
\psGetNodeCenter{A} \psGetNodeCenter{B} \psGetNodeCenter{C}
/LengthBA B.x A.x sub dup mul B.y A.y sub dup mul add sqrt def
/LengthBC C.x A.x sub dup mul C.y A.y sub dup mul add sqrt def
/Factor LengthBC LengthBA div def
A.x B.x sub Factor mul B.x add /A.x ED
A.y B.y sub Factor mul B.y add /A.y ED

It becomes more complicated :-) – kiss my armpit Aug 10 '12 at 14:27
no, because you do not need any coodinate – Herbert Aug 10 '12 at 14:30
I meant that your solution depends on B' while my solution does not. However, I cannot rotate the label clockwise. – kiss my armpit Aug 10 '12 at 14:35
no I do not need the B'. I used it only while it was defined. See edit for another solution – Herbert Aug 10 '12 at 15:15
The calculation in the second example will put the label on the median rather than on the angle bisector. – kiss my armpit Aug 10 '12 at 17:49

I got the solution even though it is not elegant enough.

\documentclass[border=0pt,pstricks]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-eucl}
\psset{PointName=none,PointSymbol=none}
\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=false](6,6)
\pstGeonode[CurveType=polyline](1,1){A}(5,5){B}(4,1){C}
\pstMarkAngle[MarkAngleRadius=1.6,LabelSep=1]{A}{B}{C}{\rput{(B)}(0,0){\tiny$180^\circ-\theta$}}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}


Clockwise rotation:

\documentclass[border=0pt,pstricks]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-eucl}
\psset{PointName=none,PointSymbol=none}
\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=false](6,6)
\pstGeonode[CurveType=polyline](1,1){A}(5,5){B}(4,1){C}
\pstMarkAngle[MarkAngleRadius=1.6,LabelSep=1]{A}{B}{C}{\rput{!\psGetNodeCenter{B} B.y B.x atan 180 sub}(0,0){\tiny$180^\circ-\theta$}}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
