Plot Variables Contribution

Description

Plot the contribution of the initial variables to the analysis (i.e. correlation circle). Typically these are the eigen vectors and eigen values in ordinations.

Usage

ecospat.plot.contrib (contrib, eigen)

Arguments

contrib	A dataframe of the contribution of each original variable on each axis of the analysis, i.e. the eigen vectors.
eigen	A vector of the importance of the axes in the ordination, i.e. a vector of eigen values.
