The plot shows the variation for each component and mypc$sdev gives you the standard deviation. 
If you want to know the variation, use mypc$sdev^2.

Subject: [R] values for the scree plot (package psych)

Hello,

I am using function princomp from the package psych.
I have my principle component object mypc:

mypc <- princomp(covmat=mycor)

plot(mypc)  # shows me a screeplot

Question: how could I actually see the values displayed in the screeplot. I don't mean on the graph - I just want to know the actual value for each component (e.g., 10, 3.2, 1.8, etc.)

I need to know how much variance, in total, a certain number of comonents explain.

Thanks a lot!
