\begin{document}
\raggedright Without a space reserved through a \TeX{} box, the current point becomes by
definition the origin of the coordinate system for PostScript and the graphic overwrites
the text $\rightarrow$ \psframebox[framesep=0]{\psaxes[labels=none]{->}(0,0)(-1,-1)(2,2)%
\psplot[linewidth=1.5pt,linecolor=red!60,algebraic]{-1}{1.5}{x^2-0.5}} because PostScript
doesn't know whether space there has been reserved or not from \TeX. Therefore the current
point also remains unchanged by PostScript; \TeX\ simply carries on writing\ldots{}
Nevertheless, this ``overpainting'' can be used in a sensible way for overlays.
