Unlimited Map Projections |
|
You've waited long enough. Surfer now supports map projections! Assign a
coordinate system to each of the layers in your map, and then choose from an
endless list of coordinate systems for your map to display. Allowing you to mix
and match data and grid files from different coordinate systems gives you
tremendous flexibility and time savings when creating your maps!
The above map was created using ten different data sets in more than
five different coordinate systems! No extra effort is required to convert
data sets, Surfer works seamlessly with all coordinate systems. |
 |
|
|
64-bit Installation |
|
Work with all of your large data sets and images without the worry of running
out of memory!
The data file for this detailed map was gridded 2.5x faster under the
64-bit version of Surfer 10 than the 32-bit version on the same computer. |

See Your Edits Immediately |
|
Editing your Surfer plots has never been easier with the new property
manager. With a few simple clicks, completely customize your map and instantly
see the changes in the map!
Click on an individual object in a contour map
to edit its properties in the property manager. |

Draw Smooth Curved
Lines |
|
You asked for it and we responded! Use the new spline curve tool to add a
smooth, flowing polyline to your Surfer plot.
Use the new spline tool to create smooth lines
mimicking contours in your project! |

|
Dynamic Digitizing |
|
Need to know the Z values of particular points on a map? Digitize them!
Digitizing points on a grid-based map reports the X, Y and Z values.
Digitize any grid-based map and choose to record the Z value with the X and Y
values. |

Ultimate Data
Compatibility |
|
Import and export in all popular formats! New import formats include Access 2007
ACCDB import and database query support. New export formats include Google Earth
KML and KMZ.
Export directly from Surfer to a KML file and open it in Google Earth! |

|
Specify the Range of Data
for Post Maps |
|
Take complete control over your post and classed post maps! Specify the range of
data to plot by choosing the starting and ending rows to use from your data
file.
Choose what rows and data points are plotted on the post map.
The post map above displays every 2nd point between rows 13 and 48 in the data
file. |

Save Grid Functions |
|
Surfer automatically saves the last ten grid functions you created so
there is no need to enter the same functions repeatedly.
Surfer automatically saves up to the last 10 recently used functions. |

Easily
Specify Major and Minor Contour Lines |
|
It is easier than ever to format contour map levels with Surfer's new
customization abilities. Choose the new simple method or the advanced method for
editing contour levels.
The simple method allows you to quickly and easily define and edit basic
contour attributes, such as major and minor contour line intervals, major and
minor contour line properties and color fill. The advanced method gives you all
the options of previous versions of Surfer and allows you to make edits
all the way down to the smallest details of your map. The options are endless!
The simple contour level method makes it easy to describe
and edit major and minor contour lines, or apply color fill.
The advanced contour level method allows you to make changes to individual
contour levels,
such as adding or removing levels, applying gradient colors for the lines,
and individually adding or removing contour labels and hachures. |

Enhanced Grid Node Editor |
|
All blanked nodes can be identified and edited in a snap! The symbol for blanked
nodes in the Grid Node Editor has been changed to make them easy to recognize.
Blanked nodes are shown as blue X's in the Grid Node Editor for quick
identification. |
|
|
|
|
Export Contours to 3D
Text File |
|
Get the data you need from your contour map! Export the contour lines to an XYZ
text data file. |
|
|
|
|
Enhanced Grid Math |
|
Grid Math is more powerful and flexible than ever! Use as many files with Grid
Math as you want, you are no longer limited to only two. In addition, you have
to option to reassign blanked grid node values to any value you want. |
|
|
|
|
Save Grid and Data Files from
Your Maps |
|
Have a Surfer file but no associated data file or grids? No problem!
Surfer can extract this missing information directly from the map so you
will have everything you need! |
|
|
|
|
Load a CLR File for a
Contour Map via Automation |
|
For our Scripter users, you will be happy to hear you can create a contour map
with the colors you want by loading a CLR file for a contour map via a script.
No more complicated workarounds! |
|
|
|
|
Save Coordinate System
Information to a File for Reuse |
|
Work smarter, not harder! Surfer allows you to assign a projection once
and the information is saved for future use. For example, assign the coordinate
system once to your data file or grid file, then when you use the data or grid
file, the coordinate system information is automatically entered. You don't have
to waste time by re-entering the same CS information each time you use the data. |
|
|
|
|
New Grid Mosaic Option |
|
Use the new SUM overlap method! Mosaic your grid files and add the Z values in
the areas where the grid files overlap. |
