I can do this using `rectangle('Position', [-1, 1, 1, 1], 'Curvature', 0.2)` in MATLAB.

There’s `Box` with `cornerradius` [Box | Makie](https://docs.makie.org/stable/reference/blocks/box#cornerradius). But you can’t plot that into an `Axis`. For that you could make a heler function that constructs a `BezierPath` with four `EllipticalArc` corners and use `poly` on that
