    >> rect2(left, top, dx = w, dy = h, col = bg, angle = NULL)
    UweL> 141c141
    UweL> <     rect2(left=xt, top=yt+ybox/2, dx = xbox, dy = ybox, col = fill)
    UweL> ---
    >> rect2(left=xt, top=yt+ybox/2, dx = xbox, dy = ybox, col = fill, angle = angle)

Thank you, Uwe!
The fix looks very reasonable and should make it to R-devel
soon.
