`ord`	An object produced by `metaMDS`.
`groups`	An grouping factor, its length is the same as the row number of the ordination dataframe.
`axes`	Axes shown.
`obslab`	A logical value, obslab = FALSE(The row variables are displayed as points), obslab = TRUE(The row variables are displayed as texts).
`moblabs`	A vector of strings, rename the row variable names displayed.
`obssize`	The size of row variables.
`obscol`	The colour of row variables.
`obspch`	The point shape of row variables.
`obsFonts`	The family of row variables.
`obsface`	The fontface of row variables.
`spe`	A logical value, whether the column variables are displayed.
`msplabs`	A vector of strings, rename the col variable names displayed.
`spearrow`	Arrowhead length of col variables.
`spelab`	A logical value, spelab = FALSE(The col variables are displayed as points), spelab = TRUE(The col variables are displayed as texts).
`spmapsize`	Numeric value, the size of col variable labels is mapped by the length of arrowhead.
`spaline`	Type of arrowhead segment.
`spalwd`	Numeric value, the width of arrowhead segment.
`spacol`	The colour of arrowhead segment.
`sprotate`	Numeric value, rotation angle of col variable labels.
`spesize`	Numeric value, the size of col variable labels or points.
`specol`	The colour of col variable labels or opoints.
`spepch`	Type of col variable labels or points .
`speFonts`	The family of col variable labels.
`speface`	The fontface of col variable labels.
`envs`	Dataframe fitted.
`mflabs`	A vector of strings, rename the fitted variable names displayed.
`farrow`	Arrowhead length of fitted variables.
`fmapsize`	Numeric value, the size of fitted variable labels is mapped by the length of arrowhead.
`faline`	Arrowhead type of fitted variables.
`falwd`	Numeric value, arrowhead width of fitted variables.
`facol`	Arrowhead colour of fitted variables.
`fzoom`	Numeric value, scaling arrow length.
`frotate`	Numeric value, rotation angle of fitted variable labels.
`fsize`	Numeric value, the size of fitted variable labels or points.
`fcol`	The colour of fitted variable labels or opoints.
`fFonts`	The family of fitted variable labels.
`fface`	The fontface of fitted variable labels.
`ellipse`	A logical value, whether confidence ellipses are displayed.
`ellprob`	Numeric value, confidence interval.
`cirlwd`	Numeric value, line width of ellipse.
`cirline`	Line type of ellipse.

Control of some parts is put in the function. Theme of figure can be set by theme of ggplot2.

Returns a ggplot object.
