[R-meta] forest plot details

[Norman DAURELLE]

Dear Wolfgang, dear list members, 

thank you very much ! 

I have another question, it's something that has been troubling me for a while : 
when I have many rows in a forest plot, reading each row becomes difficult, 
the rows get crushed together, the way they are in the forest plot I attach. 

If I use the "zoom" button of the plot window in R, it makes the graph more readble for me, 
but then the text is thinner. 

Is there a way to implement space between rows without having to set each line that is "filled" manually ? 
I mean I understand that the part " rows = c(...)" allows you to choose which rows are used and which are left blank, 
but I would basically just like to be able to change the line spacing, leave a little more space between rows so that the plot is more readable. 

Maybe i would just have to increase the font size then use the zoom option and capture the plot with the snipping tool. 

As always, any advice would be appreciated. 

Best wishes, 
Norman.

Hi Norman, 

In the example you linked to, just replace the 'order=dat$alloc' part in forest() with 'order=order(dat$alloc, dat$yi)'. 

Best, 
Wolfgang
