Arguments

data: A data.frame including left pyramid numbers in the 1st column and and right pyramid numbers in the 2nd column, where the numbers of males in each age-class are usually given to left numbers and those of females are to right numbers. If the data.frame includes 3rd column, it is used as age-class labels, otherwise the row.names(data) is used as age-class labels.
show_value: Logical value to draw the population numbers. Default is TRUE.
show_prop: Logical value to draw the pyramid using proportion. Default is TRUE.
left_axis: A vector of axis for left pyramid. If missing, automatically given using pretty().
right_axis: A vector of axis for right pyramid. If missing, left_axis is used.
axis_fm: A format code of formatC for plotting axis. If missing, "g" is used.
axis_bm: A big.mark of formatC for plotting axis. If missing, none.
axis_bi: A big.interval number of formatC for plotting axis. Default is 3.
cgap: The width of center gap (as ratio to each panel) to draw age-class. Default is 0.3.
cstep: The interval to write the labels of age classes. Default is 1.
csize: The font size factor to write the labels of age classes. Default is 1.
labs: The label of the left, center, and right pyramid. Default is c("Males", "Ages", "Females").
gl: Logical value to draw the vertical dotted lines. Default is TRUE.
cadj: The vertical adjustment factor for the labels of age classes. Default is -0.03.
cols: The color of the left and right pyramid. Default is c("lightblue", "pink").
dens: The density of hatching lines (/inch) for left and right pyramid. Default is c(-1, -1), when the pyramid will be filled.
main: The main title of the pyramid.
...: Other options.

Value

A population pyramid plot.
