4.5.2 VISION TOOLS PALETTE HINTS<br />

While using the region tools, you can alter their functionality by using a tool by<br />

pressing certain keyboard keys, much like the selection tools when using Windows<br />

Explorer or Microsoft ® Word. If you hold down Shift while drawing a ROI, it<br />

constrains the region’s Dx and Dy dimensions to be equal, forcing free-hand rectangles<br />

to form squares, and ellipses to circles. Interestingly, if you hold down the Shift<br />

key when drawing a line segment, it will be forced to be either horizontal or vertical,<br />

and also constrains the rotation of rectangles and annuluses to multiples of 45∞ from<br />

horizontal.<br />

As is common with Windows ® applications, holding down the Control key while<br />

drawing elements on an image allows you to create multiple instances. To erase a<br />

previously created element, either select it and press the Delete key, or simply create<br />

a new element without holding down the Control key.
