[pstricks] It might be a bug in finding angle

[Counter Terrorist]

Dear Luis,

I still don't understand why the arc center becomes (6,6) for the second example but it is (3,3) in for the first example.
In my understanding, if \pnode(3,3){O} then \psarcn[origin={O}](O)... should be identical to the following:

	* \psarcn[origin={O}](3,3)...

	* \psarcn[origin={3,3}](O)...
	* \psarcn[origin={3,3}](3,3)... 

I have not found the details in PSTricks manual how PSTricks makes assumption and calculates the arc center if nodes and literal numbers are specified.


Thank you.

There is a bug in your code... 

In the second version, you have 

\psarcn[origin={O},linecolor=red]{->}(3,3) ....

You set the origin at (O), which has coordinates (3,3) so now your center (3,3) is actually at (3,3)+(3,3), as appears in the picture.

You should write just 

   \psarcn[linecolor=red]{->}(3,3) ....

or (perhaps better, since it retains the fact that your coordinates are relative to (O)):

   \psarcn[origin={O},linecolor=red]{->}(0,0) ....

Dear Mr. Herbert,

I found a bug in PSTricks.?

Even though the points (O) and (3,3) represent the same point,
the second pspicture produces an arc at a wrong pivot.?



\documentclass[pstricks,border=1cm]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-eucl}


\begin{document}


\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=top](9,8)
\pstGeonode(3,3){O}(5,5){A}(5,1){B}
\pscircle[linestyle=dashed](O){2}
\psarcn[origin={O},linecolor=red]{->}
(O)%<=============== COMPARE THIS ONE
{2}{(A)}{(B)}
\psline(A)(O)(B)
\end{pspicture}?

\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=top](9,8)
\pstGeonode(3,3){O}(5,5){A}(5,1){B}
\pscircle[linestyle=dashed](O){2}
\psarcn[origin={O},linecolor=red]{->}
(3,3)%<================ WITH THIS ONE
{2}{(A)}{(B)}
\psline(A)(O)(B)
\end{pspicture}?

\end{document}

Thank you in advance.


best regards,
