I know I can horizontally align text using the B argument like this:

\rput[B]{0}(-164,0){{\large\itshape{L}}}

But how do I vertically align it? Do I use the tabular command? Am I using the correct syntax?

\rput[B]{0}(-164,0){\begin{tabular}{c}{\large\itshape{L}}\end{tabular}}

Thanks.

[edit]

This seems to work:

\psTextFrame[linestyle=none,fillstyle=none](-156,-8)(-172,8){\large\itshape{L}}

But I read it is not a real pstricks object, so there might be other problems?

    This is unclear. What do you mean by horizontal and vertical alignment when you only have a single item?

  • I mean vertical and horizontal centering with respect to the (x,y) coordinate.

  • Then use as optional argument for \rput[C] or nothing, it is the default.

  • The documentation I was reading doesn't mention the C argument. en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/PSTricks

Don't know what you mean with "vertical" alignment. But \rput makes more sense for words without line breaking. In the following example the two "L" are printed one over the other:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\begin{document}

\psset{unit=1pt}
\begin{pspicture*}(-250,-250)(200,200)
\psTextFrame[fillstyle=none](-156,-8)(-172,8){\large\itshape L} 
\rput(-164,0){\large\itshape L}\psdot(-164,0)
\end{pspicture*}

\end{document}

By the way: \itshape is a switch! It has no argument.
