It sounds like you need to upgrade. Search the release notes at
<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/notes.html> for "makePolygon" and you will
see that this function was added in ImageJ 1.35b. You can upgrade to
ImageJ 1.37e by downloading the file "ij.jar" from
<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/upgrade/> and copying it into the ImageJ
folder.

Open the Analyze>Set Scale dialog and set "Distance in Pixels" to 0.
