[R] biplot labels

[Julien Barnier]

Hello,

I am trying to draw the biplot of a PCA, but I would like to use another variable of my initial data frame than my "row.names" to assign 
labels to the points.

A part of my R file follows ; "m" is my initial data frame, which has the variable "code" as row.names, and another variable "name" that I'd 
like to use as labels for the points.

> attach(m)
> t <- subset(m, comm == "59512", select=c(pvviol,pcamb,pvvoit,pvroul,pinc,pdeg,ptot,pvp,pmin))
> library(mva)
> a <- princomp(na.omit(t),cor=TRUE)

I have tried some complicated things like

> biplot(a, cex=0.6, xlabs = subset(m, (comm == "59512") & !(is.na(pvviol)), select = name))

(because I have two points who have missing values), but it doesn't work (error message "length of dimnames[1] not equal to array extent").

Is there a simple way to do that ?
(I hope the explanations of my problem are clear enough)

Thanks a lot in advance.
