[R] polygon is not filled by color with alpha when outside of plot region

[Jinsong Zhao]

Hi there,

Here is the codes that could demo the problem:

# work as expected
plot(1:5)
polygon(c(1.5, 6.5, 6.5, 1.5), c(1.5, 1.5, 6.5, 6.5), col = "gray")

# the polygon at right upper is not filled by gray with alpha = 0.5
plot(1:5)
polygon(c(1.5, 6.5, 6.5, 1.5), c(1.5, 1.5, 6.5, 6.5), col = 
adjustcolor("gray", 0.5))

# however, colors with alpha = 0.5 could be used with polygon
polygon(c(1.5, 5.0, 5.0, 1.5), c(1.5, 1.5, 5.0, 5.0), col = 
adjustcolor("gray", 0.5))

If the polygon is in the plot region(?) wholly, color with alpha works.

Is it designed?
