popupAnchor in Leaflet

Is there an equivalent of a popupAnchor for Markers in Leaflet. There is a LMarker.setIconAnchor(Point p), but I can’t seem to find one for the popup.

What happens to me now is that the popup starts at the marker point and covers the icon.

Thanks.

I am answering my own question. The setPopupState( popupState ) is the method that controls the popup parameters of a marker. fyi.
