passing x ticks labels

[drveera]

Hi,

Thanks for this great package. I was wondering if there is an argument to pass the x-tick labels. I'd want to plot odds ratios in the log scale, but label them with their actual OR values. For e.g. I'd like to mark the ticks at [math.log(0.5), math.log(1), math.log(1.5)] and label them as [0.5,1,1.5]

hi @drveera, yes you get set those using ax.set_xticks() and ax.set_xticklabels(), respectively.

Initial plot:

import forestplot as fp
df = fp.load_data("sleep")

ax = fp.forestplot(
    df,  # the dataframe with results data
    estimate="r",  # col containing estimated effect size 
    varlabel="label",  # column containing variable label
)

Adjusting xticks and xticklabels:

ax = fp.forestplot(
    df,  # the dataframe with results data
    estimate="r",  # col containing estimated effect size 
    varlabel="label",  # column containing variable label
)
ax.set_xticks([-.4,-.3,-.2,.4])
ax.set_xticklabels(["a", "b", "c", "e"])

Awesome! Since I'm not familiar with matplotlib, I didn't know this trick. Thank you very much.
