Plot the Loadings of a FA

Description

Makes a Reimann-plot of a loadings matrix.

Usage

loadplot(fa.object, titlepl = "Factor Analysis", crit = 0.3, length.varnames = 2)

Arguments

`fa.object`	the output of factor analysis class
`titlepl`	the title of the plot
`crit`	all loadings smaller than crit will be ignored in the plot
`length.varnames`	number of letters for abbreviating the variable names in the plot

Value

Plot of the loadings of a FA therefore a object of factor analysis class must be provided.
