Population pyramid part 2 - axis extents

Hi all, thanks again to Ian for your help in my other post https://community.pyramidanalytics.com/t/60hxcbn/making-a-population-pyramid-chart-specify-total-for-and-reverse-axis-direction

I've used that to create this:

 

Which is the correct results but, the two bottom axis (which appear to be y-axis in because it is a trellis?)  are using differing scales. They need to be the same - see how the bottom item for instance is 7.9% and 8.3% but the differing scales makes the 7.9% so much larger. In Tableau i would create a parameter driven reference line and use the max value of either sex as the driving value, the reference lines were on the charts to force the scaling but invisible.

Looking at Client help i think reference lines are static though in Pyramid? how would i force both sides to behave?

thanks!

ps - some subjects have very skewed populations and need a scale that goes to 25% or more, so i cant set a default scale limit for everything - it'll be unsuitable for almost all cases.

    Tornado charts are included in the latest patch release (2020.11) and automatically balance the axis scales.

    See my reply to your other post on this for examples.

    Hope that helps.
