[R] Principal componet plot from lower triangular matrix file

[Ken]

R distance objects are triangular, maybe consider as.dist() that would require the square matrix as input. Which could be reconstructed(or you have it already.) I do not know if there is a biglm() alternative to princomp(), but maybe consider using subsets of your data because that plot, if created, is going to be very hectic.
