I am trying to draw a pin with a 45-degree angle. For some reason, the angle is not accepted and is seen as the pin label:

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{intersections}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=2.54]
 \path[draw,red,name path=thresh] (0,0.4) -- (4.0,0.4);
 \path[draw,blue,name path=four] (0,0) -- (4.0,1);
 \path[name intersections={of=four and thresh,name=newfour}];
 \node[style={fill=black,circle,scale=0.3},
      pin={[pin edge={black,thick}]45:{cross}}] at (newfour-1) { };
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Here is the result: enter image description here

How can I fix this issue?

Note: My pgf version is 2.10.

    Your code works correctly with pgf 2.10, as you can check it here for example (include \pgfversion command in the docuemnt to see that it has 2.10). Also here too. – JLDiaz Mar 26 '13 at 17:31
  • The problem must be elswhere then. I am using MacTex and when including \pgfversion the resukt is 2.10 as reported. – vrleboss Mar 26 '13 at 17:34
  • And I compile with pdflatex --shell-escape -enable-write18 $fullname – vrleboss Mar 26 '13 at 17:36
  • Pin angles are known to snap to certain angles. There must be a long thread about that. Here it is tex.stackexchange.com/questions/43912/… – percusse Mar 26 '13 at 17:43

    Probably there is something wrong with your installation. That's a valid syntax provided that you are loading the calc library. – percusse Mar 26 '13 at 18:13
