The suggestions given in:
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a.new/archive/15030.html
by Denis White let you overplot the image with a masking polygon - that
may be the most suitable for you. Alternatively, you can set the image
values to be omitted to NA, but how you would do this depends rather on
whether the polygon is irregular or not. If the polygon is regular,
unrolling the image into a vector and setting conditions on expand.grid()
of the row and column coordinates will work with is.na(). If irregular,
you'll need to do point-in-polygon checking of the image grid coordinates.
If your data are geographical (not assumed here), you may like to follow
this up on the R-sig-geo list.
