In this context anchor is saying what point of the image the x,y you 
give  refers to. The x and y are absolute as are the width and height. 
In these cases x,y defines a reference point. Width & height define how 
big the image should be. You choose to regard x,y, width & height as 
defining a box. Unfortunately that's not how we regard them.

The so called box that you refer to doesn't actually exist, but if it 
did and we could refer to its anchor point then there would be two 
anchors and presumably all sorts of possibilities.

Since you have absolute control over this virtual box I don't believe 
you really need control over what its x and y should anchor to.

If I renamed anchor to referencePoint would it make more sense for you?
