Customizing plot

Hallo Mahmood

I recently struggled with similar problem useing factoextra package. You
could fiddle with xlim and ylim to set size of plot and col.ind to set the
colour.

Another option is to use prcomp function to generate data and fine tune
biplot.

See parameters expand, xlim and ylim for biplot size and points to add
points with different shape, colour and/or size.

Below is example with factoextra

Cheers
Petr
