Try this: m <- matrix(rnorm(25), nrow = 5) image(m) # Get the plot region coords USR <- par("usr") # Calc the length of a side of a square SIDE <- abs(USR[1] - USR[2]) / 5 # Draw the rect using the appropriate offsets rect(USR[1] + (SIDE * 2), USR[3] + (SIDE * 2), USR[1] + (SIDE * 3), USR[3] + (SIDE * 3), col = "blue") See ?par and review "usr", then see ?rect par("usr") gives you the coordinates of the plot region. Then just do the math to calculate the coordinates of each rectangle.
