Groups and Paths and Masks in R Graphics

A new R blog post/announcement has been posted!

Support for gradient fills, pattern fills, clipping paths and masks was added to the R graphics engine in R version 4.1.0.
The development version of R (likely to become R version 4.2.0) contains support for several more graphical tools: groups, compositing operators, and affine transformations, plus some tweaks to paths and masks.
An R-level interface for these new features has been added to the ‘grid’ graphics package.
library(grid) The following code demonstrates drawing a group with the new grid.
