The \code{\link[=ggplot_pca]{ggplot_pca()}} function is based on the \code{ggbiplot()} function from the \code{ggbiplot} package by Vince Vu, as found on GitHub: \url{https://github.com/vqv/ggbiplot} (retrieved: 2 March 2020, their latest commit: \href{https://github.com/vqv/ggbiplot/commit/7325e880485bea4c07465a0304c470608fffb5d9}{\code{7325e88}}; 12 February 2015).
\item{labels}{an optional vector of labels for the observations. If set, the labels will be placed below their respective points. When using the \code{\link[=pca]{pca()}} function as input for \code{x}, this will be determined automatically based on the attribute \code{non_numeric_cols}, see \code{\link[=pca]{pca()}}.}
\item{labels_textsize}{the size of the text used for the labels}
\item{labels_text_placement}{adjustment factor the placement of the variable names (\verb{>=1} means further away from the arrow head)}
\item{groups}{an optional vector of groups for the labels, with the same length as \code{labels}. If set, the points and labels will be coloured according to these groups. When using the \code{\link[=pca]{pca()}} function as input for \code{x}, this will be determined automatically based on the attribute \code{non_numeric_cols}, see \code{\link[=pca]{pca()}}.}
\item{ellipse}{a logical to indicate whether a normal data ellipse should be drawn for each group (set with \code{groups})}
\item{ellipse_prob}{statistical size of the ellipse in normal probability}
\item{ellipse_size}{the size of the ellipse line}
\item{ellipse_alpha}{the alpha (transparency) of the ellipse line}
Produces a \code{ggplot2} variant of a so-called \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biplot}{biplot} for PCA (principal component analysis), but is more flexible and more appealing than the base \R \code{\link[=biplot]{biplot()}} function.
The colours for labels and points can be changed by adding another scale layer for colour, like \code{scale_colour_viridis_d()} or \code{scale_colour_brewer()}.
The \link[=lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{maturing}. The unlying code of a maturing function has been roughed out, but finer details might still change. Since this function needs wider usage and more extensive testing, you are very welcome \href{https://github.com/msberends/AMR/issues}{to suggest changes at our repository} or \link[=AMR]{write us an email (see section 'Contact Us')}.
