[. . . ] The line selection can be constrained to horizontal or vertical by holding down the shift key. Use the Draw Boundary command (Control-B) to draw a reference line in the current foreground color. To highlight the pixels used to generate the profile plot, hold down the mouse button and drag in the Plot window. The Plot window, unlike the Histogram window, can be resized. Plots can be copied to the Clipboard and then pasted into an image window. In addition to the plot, the Copy command also copies the plot data values as a single column of numbers. These numbers can then be pasted into analysis and plotting programs, such as Excel. Profile plot data values can also be exported to a text file using the Export command. Various aspects of the plots produced by the profile plotting tool can be altered using the Profile Plot Options dialog box. As a shortcut, you can bring up this dialog box by double-clicking on the density profile tool. Paint Bucket Flood fills, using the current foreground color, the area with the same color as the point you click on. Note that the "hot spot" is at the end of the paint coming from the bucket. Text Tool Use this tool to add text to images using a typeface and style chosen from the Choose Font sub-menu in the Options menu. Various attributes, such as typeface, size and color, can be changed after the text has been entered. Once you choose another tool, however, or type return, the text becomes part of the image's bitmap. Hold down the Scroll Lock key to get the text tool to automatically type in the most recent length, angle, or area measurement. Clicking repeatedly with the Scroll Lock key down enters multiple readings, starting with the most recent one. 60 Eyedropper Sets the foreground color by "picking up" colors from the image or from the LUT window. Control-click to change the background color. If you are using pseudocolor, double-clicking on a color in the LUT window causes the Color Picker dialog box to be displayed, allowing you to modify that color. In density slicing mode, double-clicking in the LUT window allows you to change the density slice color. Note that, when using this tool, pixel values are displayed in the Info window as RGB components. Angle Tool Measures the angle formed by two lines drawn through a point. The angle is displayed interactively in the Info window as the lines are drawn. Use Show Results to display the complete list of angle measurements. The angle tool creates a line selection that can be used to draw the angle using the Draw Boundary command.
