Hi @sparkok .
Indeed, the doc is lacking in explanation, I think.

anchor is a normalized vector that determines where the graphic is based.
I made a diagram below. Do you understand it?

(I haven't developed Excalibur.js for a while, so sorry if I'm wrong.)

Nice explanation. Perhaps make a PR to the docs repo?
