Can any one explain what the * and / operators are supposed to do?
 
For example, what does it mean to multiply a box * a point?
 
The documentation says that multiply and divide are supposed to perform translation and scaling, but it doesn't really go much beyond that. 
 
Any good URL's out there that might explain this?  Thanks.
