R help - Feb 2008 - display pictures

Dear all,

is there a possibility to display pictures (jpegs, pngs, ...)  in R?

Maybe the following (hypothetical) code makes it clearer what I have in
mind:

plot(x=0:100, y=0:100, type="n")
rect(xleft=25, xright=75, ybottom=30, ytop=95, fill="apicture.png")

Thank you,
Roland
