You will not get rounded corners with box().

The 'bty' argument determines how many sides of the plot region are
drawn using box().

"o" gives you all four sides (1:4)

"l" gives you left and lower (2 and 1)

"7" gives you upper and right (3:4)

"c" gives you all except right (1:2, 3)

"u" gives you all except upper (1:2, 4)

"]" gives you all except left (1, 3:4)

Try this as an example:

plot(1:10, axes = FALSE)
box(bty = "7")

Substitute each of the bty types to review further.

HTH,
