Dear R users, I would like to adjust the x axis the way I wanted using "forestplot(labeltext, mean, lower, upper, align = NULL, xlab = "", zero = 0, graphwidth = unit(2, "inches"), col = meta.colors(), xlog = FALSE)". I tried using xaxt="n" and then redefine the axis using axis(1, at=c(0,0.5,1.0 ,1.5,2.0,2.5),label=c(0,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5)), but it doesn't work at all. Seems the forestplot function itself does not allow some basic plot option like xaxt="n"? Anybody porvides some hints to solve this problem? Many thanks!
Either adapt the function yourself and provide a patch to the package maintainer, who certainly will be happy if people are contributing features and bugfixes, or send a feature request to the package maintainer. Uwe Ligges

The forestplot() function uses grid graphics, for which xaxt="n" is not
"some basic plot option". More importantly, although it would be easy to
not draw the x axis, it wouldn't help at all, since axis() still wouldn't
work.
