Grids can be edited with an intuitive user interface in the grid editor. For example, grids can be sliced to create cross-sectional profiles, or the Grids | Calculate | Isopach command can be used to create an isopach map from two grid files. The grid files can be edited, combined, filtered, sliced, queried, and mathematically transformed. Cross-sectional profiles can also be computed and exported. Surface area, projected planar area, and volumetric calculations can be performed quickly in Surfer. In addition, data metrics allow you to map statistical information about your gridded data. The variety of available methods provides different interpretations of your data, and allows you to choose the most appropriate method for your needs. Many gridding and mapping options are available allowing you to produce the map that best represents your data.Īn extensive suite of gridding methods is available in Surfer. The grid is used to produce different types of maps including contour, color relief, and 3D surface maps among others. Grids may also be imported from other sources, such as the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Surfer is a grid-based mapping program that interpolates irregularly spaced XYZ data into a regularly spaced grid. Virtually all aspects of your maps can be customized to produce the exact presentation you want. Adding multiple map layers and objects, customizing the map display, and annotating with text creates attractive and informative maps. Producing publication quality maps has never been quicker or easier. Welcome to Surfer, a powerful contouring, gridding, and surface mapping package for scientists, engineers, educators, or anyone who needs to generate maps quickly and easily.
