This is the positionMarker node which is a dag object that lives in the under world of a curve shape. In the context of motionPath animation, a positionMarker represents a keyframe stored in the animCurve connected to the uValue attribute of the motionPath node connected to this positionMarker.

The position of a positionMarker (with respect to the parent geometry) is stored in its parentclass. The positionMarker contains information about time assigned to it.

When the position or the time of a positionMarker is changed, the corresponding keyframe will be updated, and vice versa.

When a positionMarker is disconnected from the motionPath node, its corresponding keyframe will be removed as well.
