R help - Jan 2003 - plotting primatives, ellipses, dots, radial coordinates etc.

Is there a library in R that defines plotting primatives such as drawing an
ellipse, drawing a colored dot, or drawing a line with a radius and angle?
More complex figures would be cool too like defining a color-filled polygon
as an object an placing it at any arbitrary position (x,y,scalex, scaled and
rotated).

- See the *package* ellipse

_*Graphics*_", JCGS 5 (3), 299-314.
This tells us implicitly: Look in R itself for some plotting mechanisms. 
See ?points, ?polygon, etc.
