-        Set clearances between the embellishment and the box border. It can be either a

-
-        - a scalar value means a uniform clearance in all four directions.

-    inner_pen

-    pen
-        Pen attributes for the box outline.
-    radius
-        Draw a rounded rectangular border instead of sharp. Passing a value with unit

-    pattern
-        The pattern to use. It can be specified in two forms:

-    dpi

-    bgcolor/fgcolor
-        The background/foreground color for predefined bit-patterns or 1-bit images.
