An asterisk marks those objects for which it is allowed to select an anchor point on the object (for example, in one of the corners of the object or in the middle of one of the sides). The selection methods can vary for different object types, and the details will be outlined in the section on Defining the object anchor point. Anchor points are required because objects have a certain size, and there would be positional ambiguity without them.
