+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 ([Ipe file](decorator.ipe)) illustrates the usage.
+

+
+# Download & Installation #
+
+Download [decorator.lua](decorator.lua) and copy it to ~/.ipe/ipelets/
+(or to some other directory for ipelets).
+
+# Usage #
+
+Run "Ipelets->Decorator->decorate" to decorate the currently selected objects. For that to work, there must be decorator objects (symbols
+with prefix "deco/") defined in your stylesheet (see the example
+above).
+
+# 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/").
