We show that under some positivity assumptions toric \u0000\u0000 \u0000 b\u0000 b\u0000 \u0000\u0000-divisors are integrable and that their degree is given as the volume of a convex set.

Finally, we relate convex bodies associated to \u0000\u0000 \u0000 b\u0000 b\u0000 \u0000\u0000-divisors with Newton–Okounkov bodies.
