make_ticks: Set x-axis ticks

In forestploter: Create a Flexible Forest Plot

Set x-axis ticks

Description

Pick tick positions in the (already-transformed) xlim space.

Usage

make_ticks(at = NULL, xlim, refline = 1, x_trans = "none")

Arguments

at	Numerical vector, create ticks at given values.
xlim	Limits for the x-axis as a vector of length 2, i.e. c(low, high). By default the minimum and maximum of the lower and upper values are used.
x_trans	Scale of the axis, one of "none" (default), "log", "log2" or "log10". Use "log" if the values are exponential, e.g. odds ratios or hazard ratios. The default reference line of forest is 1 for log scales and 0 otherwise.

Details

For x_trans in "none" / "scientific" this delegates to pretty. For "log" / "log2" / "log10" it converts xlim back to the original scale, runs log_pretty to get base-aware ticks (e.g. 0.1, 1, 10 rather than 0.22, 0.61, 2.72), and re-applies the transform. The reference line value is included as a tick when it falls inside the range, so forest plots always label their visual anchor.

Value

A vector of tick coordinates in the transformed space.
