What is The R Graphics Package?

The R Graphics Package is built-in "graphics" package in the R environment. It provides functions for "base" graphics, which are traditional S-like graphics, as opposed to the more recent grid graphics.

Here is a list of all functions provided in "graphics 4.0.5" release:
