[BioC] PCA-prcomp() versus plotPCA

Two question on PCA:

1. I like plotPCA from affycoretools package, but I was not able to
plot the third component.
Am I wrong?

2.I try the prcomp() function and  I compared it to plotPCA.

TesetA=t(exprs(esetA))
pca=prcomp(TAM,  retx=TRUE,center=TRUE, scale= TRUE)
plot(pca$x[,1:2])
--------
plotPCA(esetA,groups=c(1:10))

I had different plots.
Can please help me to understand better what  plotPCA is doing?


Thank you
MArco
