+ANCHORPOINT [x] [y]
+    Used to specify the location (within the symbol) that is to be
+    used as an anchorpoint when rotating the symbol and placing the
+    symbol on a map.  Default is **0.5 0.5** (corresponding to the
+    center of the symbol).
+
+      `x`: A double in the range [0,1] that specifies the location
+      within the symbol along the x axis.  0 specifies the left edge
+      of the symbol, 1 specifies the right edge of the symbol.  0.5
+      specifies the center of the symbol (in the x direction).
+
+      `y`: A double in the range [0,1] that specifies the location
+      within the symbol along the y axis.  0 specifies the top edge of
+      the symbol, 1 specifies the lower edge of the symbol.  0.5
+      specifies the center of the symbol (in the y direction).
+
+    `ANCHORPOINT` can be used with `SYMBOL`\s of `TYPE` `ellipse`,
+    `pixmap`, `truetype` and `vector`.  To ensure proper behaviour for
+    vector symbols, the left and top edges of the bounding box of the
+    symbol should be at 0.
