This function is designed to point out the variables and the categories that are the most characteristic according to each dimension obtained by a Factor Analysis.

1	dimdesc(res, axes = 1:3, proba = 0.05)

`res`	an object of class PCA, MCA, CA, MFA or HMFA
`axes`	a vector with the dimensions to describe
`proba`	the significance threshold considered to characterized the dimension (by default 0.05)

Returns a list including:

`quanti`	the description of the dimensions by the quantitative variables. The variables are sorted.
`quali`	the description of the dimensions by the categorical variables
