This animation shows data from the 12th coordinated Population Projection from the "Statistisches Bundesamt (destatis)". A much more elaborate version programmed by destatis can be seen on their webpage.

How to create this animation

Download the data from destatis.de
Save the table which should be displayed as csv file.
Transform the csv file into a JavaScript file containing a 2 dimensional array:

dataV1W1EJ = [["2009"," ","m"," 40 070 ","  341 ","  350 ","  353 ","  348 ",...,"  2 "],
["    "," ","w"," 41 665 ","  323 ","  333 ","  335 ","  329 ",...,"  12 "],
["    "," ","i"," 81 735 ","  663 ","  683 ","  688 ","  677 ",...,"  13 "],
["2010"," ","m"," 39 987 ","  339 ","  341 ","  350 ","  353 ",...,"  2 "],
   .
   .
   .
[" "," ","i"," 64 651 ","  465 ","  470 ","  476 ","  481 ",...,"  169 "]];

Every third row labeled by 'i' in the third column will be deleted later on.

Now read the data

function readFile(dataArr) {
    var len = dataArr.length, 
        i, male, female, y,
        data = [];
    for (i=len-1;i>=0;i--) {
        if (i%3==2) {
            dataArr.splice(i,1);
        } else {
            if (i%3==1) {
                female = dataArr[i][3].replace(/ /g,'')*1;
            } else if (i%3==0) {
                y = dataArr[i][0]*1;
                male = dataArr[i][3].replace(/ /g,'')*1;
                data.push([y,male,female]);
            } 
            dataArr[i].splice(0,4); // year,'',m/w,no,
        }
    }
    data.reverse();
    ages = JXG.Math.transpose(dataArr);
    return {matrix:ages, total: data};
};
var stat1 = readFile(dataV1W1EJ);

Create the filled rectangles (men, women)

brd = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox', {boundingbox:[-850,110,850,-10],axis:false});
createCurves(stat1,brd,'#658cb2','#b23f8c');
