Hi Rodrigo,

Easiest is to multiply the axis you want to invert by -1. Something like the
following, where my.cca is the orginal object and yax = obj[, 2] (xax being
obj[, 1]). Obviously, copying isn't necessary.

mynew.cca <- my.cca
mynew.cca$scores$species[, 2] <- my.cca$scores$species[, 2] * -1
mynew.cca$scores$sites[, 2] <- my.cca$scores$sites[, 2] * -1
mynew.cca$scores$centroids[, 2] <- my.cca$scores$centroids[, 2] * -1

Regards, Mark.
