R help - Nov 2011 - Confused with an error message related to "plotrix" library in the newer versions of R.

Dear R Users,



Greetings!



I am confused with an error message related to "plotrix" library in
the
newer versions of R.

I used to run an R script without fail in the earlier versions (R 2.8.1) of
R; but the same script is now throwing up an error message in the newer
versions (Now I have R 2.13.0 & R 2.14.0).



Herewith I am furnishing the same code for your perusal. It would have been
better if somebody could look into this matter and explain in detail.



require(plotrix)



xy.pop <- c(17,15,13,11,9,8,6,5,4,3,2,2,1,3)

xx.pop <- c(17,14,12,11,11,8,6,5,4,3,2,2,2,3)

agelabels <-
c("0-4","5-9","10-14","15-19","20-24","25-29","30-34",


"35-39","40-44","45-49","50-54","55-59","60-64","65+")



xycol<-color.gradient(c(0,0,0.5,0.15),c(0.25,0.5,0.5,1.75),c(0.5,1.5,1,0),18)

xxcol<-color.gradient(c(0,1,0.5,1),c(0.25,0.5,0.5,1.25),c(0.5,0.25,0.5,1.5),18)

par(mar=pyramid.plot(xy.pop,xx.pop,labels=agelabels, labelcex=1.125,

                main="Population Pyramid -- Malawi", xycol=xycol,
xxcol=xxcol))

Hi Prasanth V P,
Just a typo. Try this:

par(mar=pyramid.plot(xy.pop,xx.pop,labels=agelabels,labelcex=1.125,
  main="Population Pyramid -- Malawi", lxcol=xycol,rxcol=xxcol))

Nice plot.
