Thanks Andris, Michael and Petr for your prompt and kind feedbacks.

I will try generating my own biplot from low-level graph commands... I hope it 
will work.

Best regards,
Marco

Oggetto: Re: [R] "biplot" graphical options?

Hi, You can make a biplot on Your own, it is not so hard. And in this
case You can change parameters for every low level function as You
wish.

PC <- prcomp (iris[,1:4])
lambda <- PC$sdev * sqrt(nrow(PC$x))
plot (t(t(PC$x)/lambda),pch=16,col=as.numeric(iris[,5]))
par (new=T)
Rot <- t(t(PC$rotation)*lambda)
XLIM <- c(-max(abs(Rot[,1])),max(abs(Rot[,1])))
XLIM <- XLIM+(XLIM*0.1)
plot(Rot,col=4,axes=FALSE,xlim=XLIM,ylim=XLIM,pch="")
arrows (rep(0,nrow(PC$rotation)),rep(0,nrow(PC$rotation)),Rot[,1],Rot[,2],col=4)
text (Rot[,1:2],rownames(Rot),col=6)
axis (3)
axis (4)

Best regards,
Andris
