Draw a rectangle
The Rectangle drawing tool draws a solid rectangle on an image. The following examples
show a solid rectangle drawn on an image. The first example shows a rectangle
with transparent fill color. The second example shows the toolbar and
resize controls for the annotation.

To draw a rectangle
- Click the Rectangle drawing tool.
- Mark the upper left corner and lower right corner for the rectangle,
using one of these methods:
- Click and hold the left mouse button down at the upper left corner
(starting point), then drag the mouse to the lower right corner (ending
point) while still holding the mouse button down. Lift up the mouse
button when the rectangle is the desired size.
- Click the left mouse button at the upper left corner (starting point)
for the rectangle, and immediately release the mouse button. Move
the cursor to the lower right corner (ending point), and then click
the left mouse button once again when the rectangle is the desired
size.
To select a rectangle after drawing it
- Click the Select/edit tool on the annotation toolbar.
- Click on or inside the rectangle. This displays the toolbar you use to adjust the security, line
thickness, line color, fill color, or position.
To resize the rectangle
- Drag the
pink box outward (right or down) to expand the entire rectangle.
- Drag the
pink box inward (left or up) to contract the entire rectangle.
- Drag a
yellow box to resize the sides around that point in the rectangle.
To change the line thickness

transparent, click the X instead of a specific color.

To move an annotation

and hold down the mouse button while you drag the annotation to a new location.
