IMAQ Vision for LabWindows/CVI User Manual

Hold down the <Shift> key while drawing an ROI to constrain the ROI to
the horizontal, vertical, or diagonal axes. Use the Selection Tool to position
an ROI by its control points or vertices. ROIs are context sensitive, meaning
that the cursor actions differ depending on the ROI with which you interact.
For example, if you move your cursor over the side of a rectangle, the
cursor changes to indicate that you can click and drag the side to resize the
rectangle. If you want to draw more than one ROI in a window, hold down
the <Ctrl> key while drawing additional ROIs.
