# Decorator Ipelet #
-With the decorator ipelet, you can decorate other objects (by for
-example surrounding them with a box). The ipelet is flexible in the
-sense that you can define your own decorator objects. The following
-example (click on the figure to download the ipe-file) illustrates the
-usage.

# Creating Decorator Objects #
To create your own decorator object, execute the following steps.
1. Create a rectangle, lets call it R.
-2. Create path objects, that decorate R (usually some kind of box
- around R). You can use multiple objects for the decoration.
-3. Make sure that R is the front most object (select R and press
- Ctrl+F).
-4. Group R together with the decoration (select R and the decoration
- and press Ctrl+G).

5. Run "Ipelets->Decorator->create deco-object".
-Note that "Ipelets->Decorator->create deco-object" only slightly
-extends "Ipelets->Symbols->create symbol" (it checks whether the
-selected object can be used as decorator object and it automatically
-adds the prefix "deco/").
