The "Box" and "Ellipse" rulers are two-click types like the normal ruler,
but show a box or an ellipse spanned by the two points. For these rulers,
the Shift and Ctrl keys have a different meaning while you move the
second point: with the Shift key pressed, the first point becomes the
center of the box or ellipse. With the Ctrl key pressed, the box is
confined to a square and the ellipse to a circle. Both keys can be
combined. The same applies to all rulers using the "box" or "ellipse"
outline style.
