[R] Confused with an error message related to "plotrix" library in the newer versions of R.

[Prasanth V P]

Hi Jim,

It's working perfectly fine with the "rxcol" parameter. I am just
wondering how could I miss that..!!!
By the way, many thanks for pointing it out... Otherwise, I would have
been using the old version of R for just getting the required plot.

Much Appreciated,
Prasanth.

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.
