What causes the presence of unnecessary white space?

Question

What causes the presence of unnecessary white space in the following figure? The box and the circle should have the same center.

enter image description here

\documentclass[border=12pt,pstricks]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-node}
\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](2,2)
    \rput(1,1){\psDefBoxNodes{A}{\pscirclebox{Circle}}}%
    \psframe(A:bl)(A:tr)%
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}

If I write only "Cir" the space doesn't appear; if I write "Circ" there it is. — egreg, Sep 23 '12 at 19:22

that is a trailing space in an internal macro. Use http://texnik.dante.de/tex/generic/pstricks/pstricks.tex

Example for internal node names, needs current pst-eucl/pst-node from http://texnik.dante.de/tex/generic

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-eucl}
\begin{document}
\psset{saveNodeCoors}
\pstGeonode[CurveType=polygon](0,0){A}(3,3){B}(5,0){C}
\pstMarkAngle*[fillcolor=red]{A}{B}{C}{$\theta$}
\psdot(! N-A.x N-B.y )
\end{document}

I tested \pnode(2,1){B}\psdot(!B.x B.y) and it works. Did you enable the shorten <nodename>.x instead of N-<nodename>.x? – kiss my armpit Sep 24 '12 at 03:54
no, too many problems. The new version also needs a saveNodeCoords option setting. There are problems with the xelatex driver and at the moment I don't know why – Sep 24 '12 at 06:20
How about <nodename>.X (with uppercase X) instead of <nodename>.x (with lowercase x)? Is it possible? – kiss my armpit Sep 24 '12 at 06:26
it doesn't hurt to write N-A.x ... – Sep 24 '12 at 18:17

I think the update should be put in my answer. – kiss my armpit Sep 28 '12 at 20:30
\pstMarkAngle*[linecolor=red] (consistent convention) or \pstMarkAngle*[fillcolor=red] (inconsistent convention)? – kiss my armpit Sep 28 '12 at 20:31
setting the linecolor makes no sense, it is given by the lines of the polygon – Sep 28 '12 at 20:50
Usually the starred version means that fillstyle=solid, fillcolor=linecolor, linewidth=0pt. – kiss my armpit Sep 28 '12 at 21:10
usually, but not in this case ... – Sep 28 '12 at 21:14
