Title:
Entry field for the plot title.
Details:
Click this radiobutton to open a dialog for specifying further details on the plot title and the lines at +/- 0.5 on the y-axis (see below).
Variables Details:
For each factor, the factor loadings of the different variables are plotted. The variable names are thereby used as labels. Lines at +/- 0.5 on the y-axis help to distinguish the important from the less important variables.
Plot Only Variables...:
Enter the critical value for plotting variables. Only variables with absolute values of the factor loadings larger than the critical value will be plotted.
