comparability of population pyramids

[Andre]

Hi,

It is easy to produce a population pyramids  throught the butterfly model of the ods graphics designer

proc template;

define statgraph sgdesign;

dynamic _AGE _H1914 _AGE2 _F1914;

begingraph / designwidth=776 designheight=791;

   entrytitle halign=center 'Saisissez votre titre...';

   entryfootnote halign=left 'Saisissez votre note de bas de page...';

   layout lattice / rowdatarange=data columndatarange=data columns=2

                    rowgutter=10 columngutter=10 columnweights=(0.5 0.5);

      layout overlay / xaxisopts=( reverse=true)

                       yaxisopts=( display=(LINE));

         barchart x=_AGE y=_H1914 / name='bar(h)'

                                    datatransparency=0.5

                                    orient=horizontal

clusterwidth=1.0;

      endlayout;

      layout overlay / yaxisopts=( display=(TICKVALUES LINE));

         barchart x=_AGE2 y=_F1914 / name='bar(h)2'

datatransparency=0.5

                                     orient=horizontal

                                     discreteoffset=0.01

clusterwidth=1.0

                                     fillattrs=GraphData2;

      endlayout;

   endlayout;

endgraph;

end;

run;

proc sgrender data=INED.SERPIS template=sgdesign;

dynamic _AGE="AGE" _H1914="H1914" _AGE2="AGE" _F1914="F1914";

run;

Now i feel to be in a no throught road if i have differents source files   for example

one covering the ages from 0 to 80 and another with age from 0 to 106

The aspect of the resulting graphics of age pyramids are not standard and thus not comparable

   rowdatarange=data columndatarange=data   produce differents heights of pyramids

Is there a way  through axis explicit definition in GTL to fix this problem?

Has anybody a  good idea to overcome this problem? What i search is pyramids of the same structure

with age from 0 to 106  even if a population (ex the working part of a population) stops before

let's say 85! 

TIA

I know that i can add empty lines in the data

data t80;

set ined.t80 end=fin;

output;

if fin then do;

do i=80 to 106;

age=i ; h1914=0; f1914=0; output;

end;end;

run;

and then obtaining the searched result but i search a code gtl programming solution.

I've usually seen population pyramids use binned groups, ie age ranges instead of the continuous range.

If you add a step that preformats your data into the bins you won't have this problem.

Usually 5 year age groups are used and anything over 100 is lumped into one group:

0-4

5-9

10-14

..

100+

Hi Reeza

Finaly in the mean time i went a step further to solve my problem

by this modification on both sides

layout overlay / yaxisopts=(

display=(TICKVALUES LINE)

discreteopts=(  tickvaluelist=( "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "10" "11" "12" "13" "14" "15" "16" "17" "18" "19"

"20" "21" "22" "23" "24" "25" "26" "27" "28" "29" "30" "31" "32" "33" "34" "35" "36" "37" "38" "39" "40"

"41" "42" "43" "44" "45" "46" "47" "48" "49" "50" "51" "52" "53" "54" "55" "56" "57" "58" "59" "60"

"61" "62" "63" "64" "65" "66" "67" "68" "69" "70" "71" "72" "73" "74" "75" "76" "77" "78" "79" "80"

"81" "82" "83" "84" "85" "86" "87" "88" "89" "90" "91" "92" "93" "94" "95" "96" "97" "98" "99" "100"

"101" "102" "103" "104" "105" "106") ) ;

the graph are now independent of the data

Looks like you are trying to get uniform Y axis across different SGRENDER steps.  I cannot think of any automatic way to do this (like you can in SGPLOT).  This is so because in SGPLOT, you are always working on one layout Overlay, so it is possible to make the axes uniform.  In SGRENDER, there is no such simplicity.  Your template can have any complex structure with multiple axes (like you ahve).

To achieve this result across different data sets, you will have to determine the range of the Y axis as union from both (or more) data sets into macro variables, and set it on the Y axis for each graph.
