Have a look at matplotlib/ticker.py.  Most classes in ticker.py are
derived from class ticker.TickHelper.  This in turn has a method
.set_axis().  So I think when you write your own formatter class, you
should be able to make use of this, because I guess it's called upon
attachment of the formatter to the axis, by the axis instance it's
attached to.  This means, you should be able to retrieve the view
limits from the .axis attribute during __call__() of the formatter, so
you can choose the format used appropriate according to the view span.

Maybe, just as a thought, you should also have a look at the Locator
class you're using, to find out how the decision is made, when to use
integer tick positions and when to use fp ones.

I think you should derive your formatter class from class ticker.Formatter.
