The Measure Tool is used to gain knowledge about pixel distances in your
working image. By clicking and holding the mouse button, you can determine
the angle and number of pixels between the point of click and where the
mouse pointer is located. The information is displayed on the status
bar or can also be displayed in the Info Window.
</p>
<p>
When you pass the mouse pointer over the end point it turns to a move
pointer. Then if you click you can resume the measure.
