Re: How to change the labels with values less than 1 (0.6 for instance) in a contour figure?

The default for contour labels in NCL is to use the fewest number of characters possible to represent the value. If you want values less than 1 to be preceded by a '0' character, add the '@' character in front of the default value for the 'cnLineLabelFormat' resource: i.e. set it to "@*+^sg". There are a couple of other format resources that apply to contour plots: cnHighLabelFormat and cnLowLabelFormat. In order to understand the meaning of the symbols used, you can look at
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/format_spec.shtml.
For an example that exercises a number of the possibilities, see tm_8.ncl at
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/tickmarks.shtml.
