+Panel
+=====
+
+To draw a border around text or other renderable, construct a :class:`~rich.panel.Panel` with the renderable as the first positional argument. Here's an example::
+
+ from rich import print
+ from rich.panel import Panel
+ print(Panel("Hello, [red]World!"))
+
+You can change the style of the panel by setting the ``box`` argument to the Panel constructor. See :ref:`appendix_box` for a list of available box styles.
+
+Panels will extend to the full width of the terminal. You can make panel *fit* the content by setting ``expand=False`` on the constructor, or by creating the Panel with :meth:`~rich.panel.Panel.fit`. For example::
+
+ from rich import print
+ from rich.panel import Panel
+ print(Panel.fit("Hello, [red]World!"))
+
+The Panel constructor accepts a ``title`` argument which will draw a title within the panel::
+
+ from rich import print
+ from rich.panel import Panel
+ print(Panel("Hello, [red]World!", title="Welcome"))
+
+See :class:`~rich.panel.Panel` for details how to customize Panels.
