I’ve been using the basic features of the package to generate an animation of population pyramids for Ireland, showing the evolution of age cohorts in the population since the first post Independence Census, in 1926. This file is a pdf file, so it can be saved and viewed locally. Never knew pdf was so flexible!

More examples of the package are available here.
