平凡的水果世界，平凡中的不平凡。 今朝看水果是水果 ，看水果还是水果 ，看水果已不是水果。这境界，谁人可比？在不平凡的水果世界里，仁者见仁，智者见智。
正月是农历新年的开始，人们往往将它看作是新的一年年运好坏的兆示期。所以，过年的时候“禁忌”特别多。当然，各个地方的风俗习惯不一样，过年的禁忌也是不一样的。

I'm struggling getting a greater than sign (>=) into a forestplot. The expression should embedded in some kind of matrix. This should be simple and straight forward but I just can't find the right formula, here's my debug code:
library(rmeta)
row_names &- matrix(list("variable a", expression(test &= 2)))
test_data &- data.frame(coef=c(1.59, 1.24),
low=c(1.3, 0.99),
high=c(1.94, 1.55))
forestplot(row_names, test_data$coef, test_data$low, test_data$high, zero = 1)
2,69611940
I've created a forestplot function that can handle complex labels and other. It is included in my package
and you can find a tutorial to the forestplot2 function .
To generate the plot from my original question all you need to do is load the package and run this code:
library(Gmisc)
row_names &- list(list("Variable = 1", expression(Variable &= 2)))
test_data &- data.frame(coef=c(1.59, 1.24),
low=c(1.3, 0.74),
high=c(1.94, 1.74))
forestplot2(labeltext=row_names,
mean=test_data$coef,
lower=test_data$low,
upper=test_data$high,
col=fpColors(line="darkblue", box="royalblue"),
new_page=TRUE)
This gives the following plot:
