Drawing Tools

---

The drawing tools, located on the drawing tools toolbar, allow you to draw on and add text to your images and to make measurements on your images. They also include tools that let you select portions of the image to copy to the clipboard.

As with the acquisition tools, you select a tool by clicking on it with the left mouse button. As you run the mouse pointer over a tool button, a short description of its function appears as a pop-up tool-tip.
