Just because the discussion about clabel started, I want to post a short 
snipplet of code that I found useful. It was some sort of hack to get a 
nicer float formating for contours: contour lines represented confidence 
levels of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 per cent, and I wanted a labeling exactly as 
I have written it here now. So, fmt='%.1f\%%' would have resulted in 
1.0% 2.5% 5.0% ... but I wanted 1% 2.5% 5% ...

So this was my solution:


# some kind of hack: a nicer floating point formating
class nf(float):
     def __repr__(self):
         str = '%.1f' % (self.__float__(),)
         if str[-1]=='0':
             return '%.0f' % self.__float__()
         else:
             return '%.1f' % self.__float__()

levels = [nf(val) for val in [1.0, 2.5,5.0,10.0] ]

pylab.clabel(cs, inline=True, fmt='%r \%%')


As I said, it's sort of a hack but it works! It might not be worth to 
add this to mpl, but probably as an example ...!?
