Defines functions pctlab mcaplot

Documented in mcaplot

#' Simple and enhanced plot of MCA solutions
#'
#' This function is intended as an alternative to \code{\link[ca]{plot.mjca}}
#' for plotting multiple correspondence analysis solutions. It provides more
#' flexibility for labeling factor levels and connecting them with lines. It
#' does not support some features of `plot.mjca` (centroids, supplementary
#' points, arrows, etc.)
#'
#'
#' @param obj An `"mjca"` object
#' @param map Character string specifying the map type, i.e., the scaling
#'        applied to coordinates for different types of MCA representations. Allowed
#'        options include: `"symmetric"` (default), `"rowprincipal"`,
#'        `"colprincipal"`,
#'        `"symbiplot"`,
#'        `"rowgab"`,
#'        `"colgab"`,
#'        `"rowgreen"`,
#'        `"colgreen"`.
#'        See \code{\link[ca]{mjca}} for details.
#' @param dim Dimensions to plot, an integer vector of length 2
#' @param col Vector of colors, one for each factor in the MCA
#' @param pch Vector of point symbols for the category levels, one for each factor
#' @param cex Character size for points and level labels
#' @param pos Position of level labels relative to the category points; either
#'        a single number or a vector of length equal to the number of category points.
#' @param lines A logical or an integer vector indicating which factors are to
#'        be joined with lines using \code{\link[ca]{multilines}}
#' @param lwd Line width(s) for the lines
#' @param legend Logical; draw a legend for the factor names?
#' @param legend.pos Position of the legend in the plot, as in \code{\link[graphics]{legend}}
#' @param xlab,ylab Labels for horizontal and vertical axes.  The default,
#'        `"_auto_"` means that the function auto-generates a label of the form
#'        `"Dimension X (xx.x \%)"`
#' @param rev.axes A logical vector of length 2, where TRUE reverses the
#'        direction of the corresponding axis
#' @param \dots Arguments passed down to `plot`
#' @return Returns the coordinates of the category points invisibly
#'
#' @author Michael Friendly
#' @seealso \code{\link[ca]{mjca}}, \code{\link[ca]{plot.mjca}}
#'          \code{\link[ca]{cacoord}} returns CA and MCA coordinates,
#'          \code{\link[ca]{multilines}} draw multiple lines according to a factor,
