Examples

# set dummy data

set.seed(5)

data = data.frame(sex = sample(c("Male", "Female", "Unknown"), 200, replace = TRUE),
                  age = sample(c(NA, 1:100), 200, replace = TRUE),
                  status = sample(c("Confirmed", "Probable"), 200, replace = TRUE))

data$age.grp = cut(as.numeric(data$age), breaks = c(0, 5, 15, 25, 45, 65, Inf),
                   include.lowest = TRUE)

# age sex pyramid

age_sex_pyramid(data, age.grp.col = "age.grp", sex.col = "sex", split.by = NULL)

# age sex pyramid with lower/upper limit and colour palette

age_sex_pyramid(data, age.grp.col = "age.grp", sex.col = "sex", split.by = NULL,
                lower.limit = -50, upper.limit = 40, col.pal = 4)

# age sex pyramid with facet

age_sex_pyramid(data, age.grp.col = "age.grp", sex.col = "sex", split.by = "status")
