Re: st: metan: reversing the Events columns to the right of the forest plot

[Michael McCulloch <mm@pinestreetfoundation.org>]

Thank you Roger, I tried using the -rcols()- option, which adds additional columns to (but doesn't replace or verse the order of) the Events columns for the treatment and control groups. Using the example below, what I would like to achieve is to have the Events column for the treatment group appear on the right side of the Events column for the control group (right now it is on the left side):
