Volume Rect Tool
Volume Rectangle Tool will create a volume box around an object. To use this
tool, click on the Volume Rect button, then drag a box around the object to be
quantified. When you release the mouse button, the volume is created.

To resize the box, click on it to select it, then position your cursor on one of the
corner anchor points and drag.
To rotate the box, click on it to select it, then hold down the SHIFT key while
dragging an anchor point. The volume will pivot around its center. This is
useful if the data object in your image is lying at an angle--for example, if
your gel is smiling.
Volume Circle Tool
Use the Volume Circle Tool to create a circular boundary around an object
(such as a spot). To use this tool, click on the Volume Circle button, then
position your cursor at the center of the object to be quantified and drag
outward. As you drag, a circle will appear. When you release the mouse
button, the volume is created.
