I have the following population pyramid: Population pyramid France

This was created using the following code (and inspired by How can I draw this population pyramid graph with pgfplots?):

Question 1 : I would like to add two axis on the right and left of the pyramid with a year indication every five years (see example in the image below). Is this feasible? If so, can anybody provide some help?

Population pyramid Japan

Question 2 : If I wanted to add numbers to point at some feature of the pyramid (as shown in the second image), how could I proceed?

  • Years every five... from which to which? Also, should they align the numbers in the middle? Please clarify these points. – Alenanno Sep 08 '16 at 21:53
  • Exactly like in the picture I provided: yes they align with the numbers in the middle. For the interval, let's say 2015 to 1915. – Pascal Burkhard Sep 09 '16 at 06:59

Well, the extra ticks can be done using... extra ticks. pgfplots allows you to set extra ticks which can be totally random or can still follow the tick step of the standard ones. You set their position and that's it. By the way, I had to reduce the width and height of your figure a bit to make it fit your margins. Maybe you could increase the height a bit, but the width is kind of at the maximum.

About the numbers: I assume this is going to be something totally arbitrary, so you might want to do that manually.

As specified in the code, please note that the version for pgfplots is now 1.14.

  • @PascalBurkhard You're welcome! Sorry about the question 2, but the solution might change depending on what exactly you need to do. If you still have problems with that, you might be able to ask a different question focusing on that issue. – Alenanno Sep 09 '16 at 10:44
  • Thanks a lots !

    No problem for question 2. I will look into it. If I want to axis add lines on the side of the graph ? Easy way to do that with some kind of "extra axis lines" ?

  • @PascalBurkhard Just remove axis y line*=left (or right), and you should have both lines. – Alenanno Sep 09 '16 at 10:48
  • Thanks for your help! I managed to get what I wanted. I'll experiment with nodes for the number labels. – Pascal Burkhard Sep 09 '16 at 11:30
