It is a bad graphic as the legend that should explain the color coding is 
missing. The next option is to copy the data and code and see if you can 
reproduce the figure. You can then play with the code and read a bit about the 
procedures to figure out what is going on. It should not be too hard. My guess 
is that there is some additional variable with three states that is being used. 
If this were the iris data set I would guess it was the three species: setosa, 
versicolor, and virginica.

The figure is on page 22.
The question is: The dots have different colors; how do I know what they 
represent?
Is there a way to show an auto-legend?
Thank you
