Plot an age pyramid.

Plot an age pyramid from age pyramid data frame with possibly several characteristics.

# S3 method for class 'pyramid'
plot(
  x,
  group_colors = NULL,
  group_legend = "Group",
  age_breaks = NULL,
  value_breaks = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

Object of class pyramid.

(Optional) For plotting an age pyramid composed of several subgroups, the population data frame must contain a column named group_name.

group_colors

(Optional) Named character vector.

group_legend

(Optional) Legend title name. By default set to "Group".

age_breaks

(Optional) An ordered vector of indexes of vector unique(pyr$age) used for breaks for the axis of ages.

value_breaks

(Optional) Breaks for the axis of values.

...

Additional parameters

Value

Plot of the age pyramid.

Examples

plot.pyramid(subset(pyramid(EW_pop_14$age_pyramid), as.numeric(age) <= 110))


# \donttest{
library(colorspace)
pyr_IMD <- subset(pyramid(EW_popIMD_14$age_pyramid), as.numeric(age) <= 110)
pyr_IMD$group_name <- with(pyr_IMD, ifelse(male, paste('Males - IMD', IMD),
                          paste('Females - IMD', IMD)))
colors <- c(sequential_hcl(n=5, palette = "Magenta"),
            sequential_hcl(n=5, palette = "Teal"))
names(colors) <- c(paste('Females - IMD', 1:5),
                   paste('Males - IMD', 1:5))
# note that you must have setequal(names(colors), pyr_IMD$group_name) is TRUE
plot.pyramid(pyr_IMD, colors)
