Hi,

Is there some easy way to split the grid.newpage() into two columns?
For example, how could I put the two forest plots below (meta1 and
meta2) next to each other?

library(meta) data(Olkin95)

meta1<- metabin(event.e, n.e, event.c, n.c,data=Olkin95,
subset=c(41,47,51,59),sm="RR", meth="I",studlab=author) meta2=meta1
meta2$studlab=rep("",length(meta1$studlab) ) #deleting the labels for
the second plot

grid.newpage() forest(meta1, comb.fixed=F, comb.random=F,
rightcols="effect",leftcols="studlab") forest(meta2, comb.fixed=F,
comb.random=TRUE, leftcols="studlab",leftlabs="")

#they are superimposed... which is not what I want.

Any hints/ideas much appreciated!

Try this ...

grid.newpage()
pushViewport(viewport(x=0, width=.5, just="left"))
forest(meta1, comb.fixed=F, comb.random=F,
       rightcols="effect",leftcols="studlab",
       new=FALSE)
popViewport()
pushViewport(viewport(x=.5, width=.5, just="left"))
forest(meta2, comb.fixed=F, comb.random=TRUE,
       leftcols="studlab",leftlabs="",
       new=FALSE)
popViewport()

... and NOTE the 'new=FALSE' in the calls to forest(). Depending on how large your final plot is, you will probably also have to play with the 'plotwidth' and 'colgap' arguments to forest() (see ?forest.meta).
