Hi,

I am working in the field of multivariate statistics and I like to make a mapping of a Principle Component Analyses. In this mapping I like to visualize the X,Y coordinate positions of my samples resulting from the PCA calculation. Samples have names e.g. Prod1, Prod2, Reference, etc. So I actually want a PointSeries with these sample names as symbols.

Can you give me a hint how to achieve this in the most convenient way.

Until now I used PointSeries with symbols invisible. The sample names are shown via a marker. The X coordinate position of the marker is fine, but the problem is the centering of the mark text in the vertical direction on the Y coordinate. I tried to lower the value of the Y coordinate to compensate for this, but it is difficult to do this exact.

Thanks very much and kind regards from Gerben

Hi Gerben,

Which is the exact problem you have with Y coordinate? Could you please send us an example we can run "as-is" or a code snippet to reproduce the problem here?

Thanks in advance.
