Description

The forest plot function, forestplot, is a more general version of the original rmeta-packages forestplot implementation. The aim is at using forest plots for more than just meta-analyses.

Details

The forestplot:

1. Allows for multiple confidence intervals per row

2. Custom fonts for each text element

3. Custom confidence intervals

4. Text mixed with expressions

5. Legends both on top/left of the plot and within the graph

6. Custom line height including auto-adapt height

7. Graph width that auto-adapts

8. Flexible arguments

9. and more

Additional functions

The getTicks tries to format ticks for plots in a nicer way. The major use is for exponentials where ticks are generated using the 2^n since a doubling is a concept easy to grasp for less mathematical-savvy readers.
