Hi, I've been looking at ways to make pyramid plots in R. I like the
pyramid.plot method in plotrix as it seems the simplest to use and building
them in ggplot looks a bit more code intensive than I'd like, being as I'm new
to R. This package does pretty much what I need it to do, however I can't seem
to scale the x axis labels. The other labels scale fine with labelcex.
I guess the preferred method is to remove them and re-build them as you might
in the base package, but I have no idea how to refer to them as there are two
of them.
I have enclosed some sample data lifted from another example. I've scaled down
the other labels using labelcex whch leaves the disparity in sizes that I'm
trying to remove. I'd like something like this but with the x axis lables the
same size as the y.
> mpop=c(50,75,80,100,110,90,85,60,40,20)
> fpop=c(50,75,80,100,110,90,85,60,50,30)
> coh=c("0-9","10-19","20-29","30-39","40-49","50-59","60-69","70-79","80-89","90-99")
> pyramid.plot(mpop,fpop,labels=coh,gap=15,labelcex=0.7,top.labels=c("males","age
> group","females"),lxcol="red",rxcol="blue",
> laxlab=c(0,50,100,150),raxlab=c(0,50,100,150))
Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
Gavin.
