Consider replacing the 3D PCA plot with a set of 2D plots #85

This would make it easier to plot the Gaussian ellipses on top of the data. We could also use a "histogram" type plot too, which could be easier to see.

The 3D PCA plot is a projection anyway. So why not choose a projection that's easier to read?

This is really not a priority for the paper. Let's get it out there and worry about this another time.
