Labelling data points in PCA Biplot by a characteristic

Dear all,

 

is it possible to label the data points in a biplot shown in B by some definite characteristics in JMP? 

I mean, is there an option to label them by sample names from a different column or something, like I did it in A plot myself (in the attached file, in R)? At least by a row line - instead of seeing just a black dot.

 

Because now I need to press on every point to see which point is which line, and this is not at all convenient.

Thank you

A simple way to do this, is to go to the column in the data table you want to be displayed, and to right click on the column and select "Label/UnLabel". 

Then when you hover over, or click on a data point, you will see the label.

If you want the labels to become persistent, all you need to do is to select the "Label/UnLabel" option for the rows in the data table you want the labels to be continuously displayed.

Can I have this info drawn in the graph though - instead of the black points? 

I would be much more useful to me to see them all at once than to wander on each individual point.
