That's not how biplot.default() does it: rather it always plots a square plot within the device window with axes it manages itself and which do ensure that the scales are the same in both directions. I don't understand the request: the two quantities plotted on a conventional biplot are dimensionally different, so why would one want them to have the same scale? >>>> Bernardo Rangel Tura <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 20/11/2007 10:51:12 >>>> > > On Mon, 2007-11-19 at 13:51 -0500, Weiwei Shi wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am wondering how to draw biplot with the same scales on both > plots? >> For example, if the two plots have much different scales, generally >> the two x-y's are scaled so that the two plots are sitting in the >> center automatically.

Hmm: that is two biplots, each two superimposed plots. -- Brian D.
