[R] how to label individuals with FactoMiner ?

[Alain Guillet]

Hi,

The label you want to see on the factorial map should be the row names 
so change first the row names and then do your analysis using 
FactoMineR. Then apply the code hereunder replacing res by your PCA object.

plot.PCA(res, axes=c(1, 2), choix="ind", habillage="ind", 
col.ind="black", col.ind.sup="blue", col.quali="magenta", label=c("ind", 
"ind.sup", "quali"),  title="")

There is indeed a "label" parameter but i could only manage to label the supplementary individuals with there "row.names" (i.e. label="indiv.sup") and not with the specific names i would like them to display (gathered in a data-frame column for example, characters or numeric...).
