     GEOMTRANSFORM [labelpnt|labelpoly]
       Creates a geometry that can be used for styling the label.
 
-      - labelpnt generates the point relative to which the label will
-        be placed.
+      - labelpnt draws a marker on the geographic position the label is
+        attached to. This corresponds to the center of the label text 
+        only if the label is in position CC. 
 
       - labelpoly generates the bounding rectangle for the text, with
         1 pixel of padding added in all directions.
