This chart illustrates the power of SVG to generate graphic imagery dynamically, in conjunction with a database.
Use the controls above to select a wide variety of parameters controlling the style and data used to draw the chart.
The data comes from the 2001 census (source: www.statistics.gov.uk). You can use the data control panel to select the area for which bar chart is drawn, also the gender.
This control panel also allows data comparisons to be drawn, by expressing the data values as a ratio of those for each age group for the UK as a whole, for England and for the South West.
Gender comparisons can also be drawn, by expressing values for each age ranges as a ratio of those for males, females and all. Or area and gender comparisons can be drawn simultaneously by selecting both these options at once.
