+### Grouping / Box
+
+The actor(s) can be grouped in vertical boxes. You can define a color (if not it will be transparent) and/or a descriptive label using the following notation:
+
+    box Aqua Group Description
+    ... actors ...
+    end
+    box Group whithout description
+    ... actors ...
+    end
+    box rgb(33,66,99)
+    ... actors ...
+    end
+
+> **Note**
+> If your group name is a color you can force the color to be transparent:
+
+    box transparent Aqua
+    ... actors ...
+    end
