A Powerful Contouring, Gridding, and Surface Mapping Package for Scientists and Engineers
Surfer is the most powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use contouring and 3D surface mapping package available. Surfer easily and accurately transforms your data into spectacularly colorful contour, surface, wireframe, shaded relief, image, post, and vector maps in minutes! And best of all, Surfer is affordable!
Since 1984, over 100,000 scientists and engineers worldwide have discovered Surfer's power and simplicity. Surfer's outstanding gridding and contouring capabilities have made Surfer the software of choice for working with irregularly spaced XYZ data. Over the years, Surfer users have included hydrologists, engineers, geologists, archeologists, oceanographers, biologists, foresters, geophysicists, medical researchers, climatologists, and more! Anyone wanting to visualize their data with striking clarity and accuracy will benefit from Surfer'spowerful features!
Superior Gridding!
Surfer provides more gridding methods and more control over gridding parameters than any other software package on the market. Surfer will quickly interpolate irregularly or regularly spaced data into a useful, functional map. Use Surfer's default settings or choose from twelve different gridding methods. Each gridding method provides complete control over an abundant number of gridding parameters to generate the most accurate map possible to best represent your data. Creating high-precision maps has never been so easy!
Powerful Mapping!
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination! Customize your maps so they look their best! Each of Surfer’s ten map types has a multitude of editing options to enhance its appearance. Change line colors and thicknesses, edit point shapes, sizes, and colors, or add gradient color fills and color scale bars.Contour maps allow you to manipulate contour line intervals, thickness, color, and labeling. For shaded relief maps and 3D surface maps, quickly change the lighting angle for a realistic appearance. Create maps with multitudes of information by including scale bars, legends, and labels. These are just some of the endless options Surfer offers to easily create the most colorful, descriptive, and understandable maps – ready for publication!
Numerous Grid Functions!
In addition to creating surfaces, grid files allow you to perform a variety of functions. Just a few of the possibilities are calculating volume and area, subtracting or adding grid files, or converting outliers to a minimum or maximum value. Grid files also enable you to apply filters to emphasize details or remove background variation, blank a grid file to prevent contours from being drawn through specific areas (buildings, roads, or outside of field areas), or create cross sections.
