Forest plot top column being cutoff every other page on PDF output

[TD1]

Hi All

I have these forestplots and the top 'overall' coloum header is being cut off halfway as you can see every other page.

Please can you have a look at my code why this may be? 😕

Makes no sense as you why it is happening every other page when the code is exactly the same!

* The header uses a nested lattice layout in the top side bar.

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi,

Well, I don't have timme to debug all that.  What I would say from looking at the pages is that I guess each two pages are blocks from one set of output procedures.  As no page breaking is given, it will just flow over to the next page.  I would put a hard break in after each block (in our cases we also put a preceding blank row before and after the block to separate headings from data).

Hi RW9

Thanks.. How &  where would I put in the hard break? would it be an ods start page=yes type thing?

..

[RW9]

The simplest way would be to split the outpu in the macro call, so page 1 is output by one call to render, then page 2 is created by another call.  That way each will appear on their own pages.  Without going through its hard to place where hard page breaks would be added.

Found a solution it seems!

by changing or deleting the y axis option offsetMin 

yAxisOpts=(reverse=true display=none /*offsetMin=0*/ ) wallDisplay=none;

Its has worked and the top colum is not being cut off anymore 🙂
