`eigenmap-class` objects contain:
A matrix of coordinates.
The interval within which pairs of sites are considered as neighbours.
A distance matrix.
The weighting function that had been used.
The weighting function parameter that had been used.
A vector of the eigenvalues obtain from the computation of the eigenvector map.
A matrix of the eigenvectors defining the eigenvector map.
an `eigenmap-class` object.
Further parameters to be passed to other functions or methods (currently ignored).

The `print` method provides the number of the number of orthonormal variables (i.e. basis functions), the number of observations these functions are spanning, and their associated eigenvalues.
The `plot` method provides a plot of the eigenvalues and offers the
possibility to plot the values of variables for 1- or 2-dimensional sets of
coordinates. plot.eigenmap
opens the default graphical device driver,
i.e., X11
, windows
, or quartz
and recurses through
variable with a left mouse click on the graphical window. A right mouse click
interrupts recursing on X11
and windows
(Mac OS X users should
hit Esc on the quartz
graphical device driver (Mac OS X users).
