Dear list,

 I want to perform a biplot, using customized titels for the x and y axis.
Setting xlab="" and ylab="" resulted in an error, e.g.:
Error in biplot.default(t(t(scores[, choices])/lam), t(t(x$loadings[,  : 
        length of dimnames[1] not equal to array extent
How do I proceed?

Thanks in advance!

Wolfgang Koller

Due to a name conflict with the other arguments to biplot()
named "xlabs" and "ylabs", you have to set those arguments
explicitly, in order to be able to set xlab="", ylab="" as
well.  The following command works for me:

biplot(princomp(USArrests), xlabs=dimnames(USArrests)[[1]],
  ylabs=dimnames(USArrests)[[2]], xlab="", ylab="")

This complication is unfortunate, but it's a consequence of
partial matching of argument names.

This will work for R-1.7.0 (beta; in developement).
For the meantime follow Thomas Blackwell's suggestion.
