New to Plotly?

Plotly's Python library is free and open source! Get started by downloading the client and reading the primer.
You can set up Plotly to work in online or offline mode, or in jupyter notebooks.
We also have a quick-reference cheatsheet (new!) to help you get started!

Basic Population Pyramid Chart

If you're starting with binned data, use a go.Bar trace.

Population Pyramid with Binning

If you want to quickly create a Population Pyramid from raw data, try go.Histogram.

import plotly.plotly as py
import plotly.graph_objs as go

import numpy as np

layout = go.Layout(barmode='overlay',
                   yaxis=go.layout.YAxis(range=[0, 90], title='Age'),
                   xaxis=go.layout.XAxis(
                       tickvals=[-150, -100, -50, 0, 50, 100, 150],
                       ticktext=[150, 100, 50, 0, 50, 100, 150],
                       title='Number'))

data = [go.Histogram(
    y=np.random.exponential(50, 1000),
    orientation='h',
    name='Men',
    marker=dict(color='plum'),
    hoverinfo='skip'
),
    go.Histogram(
        y=np.random.exponential(55, 1000),
        orientation='h',
        name='Women',
        marker=dict(color='purple'),
        hoverinfo='skip',
        x=-1 * np.ones(1000),
        histfunc="sum"
    )
]

py.iplot(dict(data=data, layout=layout), filename='EXAMPLES/histogram_pyramid')
