this is customary for PCA (and factor) analysis in general.

Might also be helpful for inspecting rotations, though it's a bit visual overload #13

this was originally part of #94 which is now about a simpler plot with only the people-variables.

maxheld83@d0ecdf8 starts development on this.

like so:

biplot

Notice that the above plot is based on a weighted factor scores (as per Brown 1980), so it's not clear if/how this can be interpreted (see #163).

I'm pretty happy with q.rotplot() for now, putting this on the back burner.
Also still seems a little information overload.

just to document this if I / someone takes this up in future: I think most of the work is done for this; I have adapted the existing ggbiplot() to accept a results object from qmethod(), and it seems to work ok (see above).

Caveats that remain:

Bottom line: we're almost there, and no one should start from scratch.
ggbiplot() is a great package.
