Hi everybody, Excuse me for this silly question, but after searching the help archives I'm still unable to find my way to read the source code of the "biplot" function in R. I have installed the mvbutils package, and tried:> fixr(biplot)which only gives me: function (x, ...) UseMethod("biplot") with no further details.... I'd like to read the code to see if it is possible to display arrows only for some "significant" variables to avoid cluttering. Thank you in advance. -- H??ctor Villalobos <hvillalo at ipn.mx> IPN-CICIMAR. A.P. 592. Col. Centro La Paz, Baja California Sur, M??XICO. 23000

The * indicates that the code for those methods are not visible to users directly. getAnywhere(biplot.prcomp) is one way of viewing the code.
