pstricks
Using the auto-generated codes by LaTeXdraw, I put a text box with the following code in PSTricks:
\rput(9, -1){\psframebox[linewidth=0.04,fillstyle=solid]{Text Goes Here}}
I guess the coordinate (9,-1) corresponds to the center of the text box. Can I assign the coordinate for the left-top corner of the text box? I wanted to put several text boxes vertically and arrange them with the left sides of the boxes aligned.
The pstricks manual says on page 6:
The values of the
runit,xunitandyunitparameters are stored in the dimension registers\psunit(also\psrunit),\psxunitand\psyunit.
So you should be able to use:
\parbox[c]{4.2\psxunit}{...}
to get the width of 4.2 in the pstricks coordinate system. However, if you using complex transformations this might not work correctly, I guess. You can set the units using \psset{xunit=1cm} etc.
Include the option framesep=<len> where <len> is any (PStricks) length. Default is 3pt.
Here's a minimal example:
\documentclass[dvips]{article}
\usepackage{pst-all}
\begin{document}
\psset{xunit=1cm,yunit=1cm,runit=1cm}
\psset{linewidth=1pt}
\begin{pspicture}(10,10)
\psset{cornersize=absolute,linearc=0.15}
\rput(6.5,4){\psframebox[fillstyle=solid, fillcolor=white]{\Large{TEST}}}
\rput(6.5,0){\psframebox[fillstyle=solid, fillcolor=white, framesep=20pt]{\Large{TEST}}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

use
\rput[lb](...){...}for left bottom
