Biplot with variable labels

biplotvlab varlist [, labdes(textbox_options) biplot_options)

Description

biplotvlab allows displaying on a biplot graph the labels of the variables instead of the names of the variables. If none label is defined for one or several variables, the names of these variables are displayed instead. biplotvlab replaces the official biplot command.
