### Examples

    data(cochrane)
    steroid <- meta.MH(n.trt, n.ctrl, ev.trt, ev.ctrl,
                       names=name, data=cochrane)

    ## All black, for better photocopying
    plot(steroid, col=meta.colors("black"))

    ## distinguish the summary
    plot(steroid,colors=meta.colors(summary="forestgreen"))

    data(catheter)
    e <- meta.DSL(n.trt, n.ctrl, inf.trt, inf.ctrl, data=catheter,
                  names=Name, subset=c(13,6,3,12,4,11,1,14,8,10,2))

    ## Truly awful colour scheme to illustrate flexibility
    plot(e, colors=meta.colors(summary="green",lines=c("purple","skyblue"),
           box="red",zero="yellow",text=palette(),background="tomato",
           axes="lightgreen"))

    ## Dark blue background popular for presentations.
    plot(e, colors=meta.colors(summary="white",lines="#FFFFF0",
            box="#FFFF50",zero="grey90",text="white",background="darkblue",
            axes="grey90"))
