st: formatting forest plots in meta-analysis

I want to use some STATA forest plots in a paper and have found it both tedious and imprecise to try to edit them as pictures using the Paint program. In particular, I want to control the number of decimal places in the weights that show up on the graphs. I have tried to find this information online and have so far been unsuccessful.
The command I'm using to run the meta-analysis and produce the forest plot is:
metan logor selogor, eform xlabel(0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 10) force xtick(0.75, 1.25, 1.75, 2.25) effect(Odds ratio) label(namevar=id)
Is it possible to format these numbers in the command line? If so, how?
