Thanks for that link, Wolfgang. Unfortunately, there comes the Warning

midline decimal.
I think it has to do with the fact, that only 1-byte-codes are allowed
for options(OutDec="\xB7").
Or does it have to do with me using Ubuntu?
I am not an expert on encodings but I think that in Unicode it is indeed
two bytes but for some reason in the encoding used in Windows it is a
single byte. It may be that some expert in encodings can tell you how to
temporarily reset your locale in Ubuntu but I am not that expert.
All non-ASCII chars are two or more bytes in UTF-8: this one is c2 b7 in
hex.
Ubuntu is based on Debian which micro-packages its encoding support. On
a standard Linux system you can just use (e.g.) LC_CTYPE=de_DE which is
encoded in Latin-1. That might not be installed on Debian/Ubuntu, in
which case you need to install it.
OutDec is designed for outputting numbers in an internationalized way:
no known locale uses a centred dot. (If one did, you could most likely
set LC_NUMERIC to such a locale instead.)
Apart from that the options-command does not seem to change the
decimal of values on the "true" x-axis under the plot.
Still searching for a solution.
Cheers,
Linde

I found this:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2012-August/321057.html
So, use this before drawing the forest plot:
options(OutDec="\xB7")
Best,

Subject: [R] metafor package: changing decimal in forest plot to
midline decimal
Dear R-Community,
I need to change the punctuation of the reported weights, effect sizes
and confidence intervals in a forest plot created with the
forest()-function in the metafor-package.
Midline decimal means that it looks like this (23ยท6) rather than that
(23.6).
Do I need to change the forest()-function and if yes which part exactly?
Or is there an otherway how I can do it maybe by changing the
rma()-function, of which the forest()-function is then applied to?
Thanks for any hints and tipps!
Cheers, Linde
