  plot(-2:2, -2:2, type = "n")
  symbols(x = 0, y = 0, squares = 2, inches = FALSE, add = TRUE)

This should plot a square with its center at (0,0) and side length 2, in other
words a square from (-1,-1) as lower left angle to (1,1) as upper right angle.

However, if you execute this line
  abline(h = c(-1,1))
you see that the squares height is definitely too large.
