We present POPdemog, an R package which converts coalescent simulation program input parameters into a visual representation of the demographic model. This package is useful for preparing figures, for checking that demographic simulation parameters have been correctly specified, and for understanding demographic models that other researchers have used to simulate genetic data. The POPdemog package supports the ms, msa, msHot, MaCS, msprime, scrm and Cosi2 programs, and includes options for customizing the output figures.
