Re: help: for changing Contour Labels format from "-.2" to "0.2" or from ".8" to "0.8"

Hi Li,

You need to set the resource cnLineLabelFormat = "@*+^sg"
The default is "*+^sg"; adding the @ will force an initial zero where a
decimal point would otherwise be the first (or last) character.

See the resource here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/cn.shtml#cnLineLabelFormat
and the Floating Point Format Specification documentation here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/format_spec.shtml

Alternatively, you can alter the line labels manually by setting
cnExplicitLineLabelsOn = True, and then set the line labels individually
by setting cnLineLabelStrings. Note that cnLineLabelStrings will only
set the strings used on the line labels, it won't set the contours.

Hope that helps,
Adam
