# Then keeping the left mouse button pressed move the pointer up, down, left, or right to position the Volume Profile Drawing.
# Release the button.

== Moving and reshaping Volume Profile Drawing==

Moving a Volume Profile drawing without changing its form is not possible because the drawing is linked to the bars. So moving this drawing results in its reshaping along the vertical line.
# Point the cursor at the Volume Profile Drawing to be moved.
# The cursor '''Pointer''' [[File:Pointer.png]] will change into '''Hand''' [[File:Hand.png]].
# Then keeping the left mouse button pressed draw the Volume Profile of the desired size.
# Release the button.
To reshape the drawing along the horizontal line:
# Point the cursor at the frame edges of the Volume Profile Drawing to reshape the drawing tool.
# The cursor '''Pointer''' [[File:Pointer.png]] will change into Hand [[File:Hand.png]].
# Left-click on any edge and 4 small squares will appear in each of the corners of the Volume Profile Drawing’s frame.
# Drag one of these squares horizontally to change the amount of bars upon which the drawing is built.
# Release the button.
