+ * A class encapsulating the logic of setting an origin point.
+ * The origin acts as a pivot point but is relative to the View size,
+ * Where 0 is the left or top of the view, 0.5 is at the middle and 1 is right or bottom.
+ * Under the hood the pivot point is set but is updated when the View's layout is changed.
