Just announced: World Bank Data features and data are available. Previous posts have demonstrated how to access and plot this data using R (including the use of the R WDI package). The chart above can be created using the following program in R.

library(ggplot2)
library(WDI)

DF <- WDI(country=c(“US”,”FR”,”DE”,”GB”,”CN”,”RU”,”IN”), indicator=”SP.POP.TOTL”, start=1990, end=2008)

ggplot(DF, aes(year, SP.POP.TOTL, ggplot(DF, aes(year, SP.POP.TOTL, color=country))+geom_line(stat=”identity”)+theme_bw()+xlab(“Year”)+opts(title=”Total Population”)+ylab(“”)
